If you had an accident at work and got hurt, I would recommend that you call me so we can discuss your workers' compensation claim. When you do not have an attorney, there is no time table for the Employer or Carrier to respond to your requests for lost wages. However, when you have an attorney, we file a Petition for Benefits with the Court and request your lost wages and medical treatment. After a Petition for Benefits is filed, the Employer/Carrier must file a Response. The State of Florida will also set up a Mediation and Final Hearing in front of a Judge in case the issues can not be resolved.
It is against the law to be fired for having a workers' compensation accident or filing a claim. However, I would need to know more details of your accident to address your options.
