Tampa Workers' Compensation Attorney

What You Need to Know About Workers' Compensation

Workers' compensation is provided to employees injured on the job based on State and Federal laws governing those types of injuries.  If injured while at work, your employer has certain duties he must comply with when reporting and providing benefits to you.  Almost all work related injuries must be reported to an employer and your employer must file the proper paperwork documenting what occurred.  If injured, your employer is required to have you be treated by a doctor.  When involved in a work related duty that results in an injury, it is vital to obtain the services of a qualified Tampa workers' compensation lawyer to handle all aspects of your claim.

Not all work injuries are accepted by an employer's workers' compensation insurance as having been caused by your job duties.  Normally, the insurance company will investigate the cause of the injury, and make a determination as to liability.  It can occur, such as in the case of a back injury, that they deny the injury was work related and attempt to deny you benefits, such as medical treatment and reimbursement for lost wages.  It is because of this that you need the Law Offices of Smith & Stallworth at your side to conduct their own investigation into the facts of the injury in order to properly document your injury claim.  To find out more about how we can help you, call our office for a free initial consultation.
