When it comes to workers’ rights, Florida is one of the states across the country that takes this issue with the seriousness it deserves. The state government has laid out strict procedural rules and enforcement practices that make sure that employees’ rights are not violated. That means your employer has a legal responsibility to provide safe working conditions and fair workers’ compensation benefits when you get injured or ill in the scope and course of your job. Sadly, though, we have many cases in the past where employers and/or their insurance providers tried to reduce or even deny injured employees the benefits they are legally entitled to. The good news is that you don’t have to go through a similar ordeal.
