Workers' Compensation FAQs
Q: Am I entitled to workers’ compensation benefits?
A: Under Florida Law, employers are required to provide workers’ compensation insurance to pay benefits to injured workers who lose earnings and require expensive medical care because of job injuries.
Q: Do I have to use the insurance company’s doctor?
A: Florida workers’ compensation law provides the exclusive remedy for wage loss, medical treatment, and death benefits for workers injured on the job. The law required that all medical treatment and prescription medicine be authorized by the workers’ compensation carrier and treatment must come from authorized physicians under the plan. However, if you are not satisfied with the treating physician, we can file a petition to get authorization for treatment by another physician.
