Mr. Coldwell,   Workers' Compensation law in Florida does not provide for damages for pain and suffering. Florida provides for a no fault system, in which an injured worker need only prove that he/she was injured in the course and scope of employment. A settlement is a business decision by the Employer/Carrier and consists of compensation for future medical treatment/care and future lost wages-past due lost wages. Any excacerbation to an already existing injury is compensable and all such medical treatment will be provided for.     We would be happy to speak to you in more detail.
