Mr.Kerrigan,
You certainly have an injury that is covered by Workers' Compensation law. You are entitled to medical treatment and lost wages for your ruptured achilles. Because you were injured while you were engaged in your job duties while at the workplace, you would qualify for benefits. in Florida, an injured worker is not required to prove negligence on the part of an employer or co-worker. It is very important that you file a claim by April 23, 2013 to preserve your rights to medical treatment.
