QUESTION
Can I file a lawsuit against the company my husband worked for or the doctor that signed off his workers comp case?
Asked on Apr 30th, 2016 on Slip and Fall - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband drove a semi and he was unloading at a place that didn't have a dock. The trailer he was in didn't have handles or anything on the back of the truck. He slipped and hurt his back. He went through workers comp and he got a lawyer to defend himself. He got a small settlement from the company he worked for. The doctor signed off saying he didn't see anything wrong but my husband is still in a lot of pain. He has been in and out of jobs because his back keeps messing up. He can't even pick up his 25 pound child. He can't do his husband or father duties since the accident. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
