Our Miami workers’ compensation lawyers focus exclusively on personal injury cases involving significant injuries, providing hands-on, comprehensive, strong yet compassionate legal representation to our clients. We respect you, and we don’t want to put anyone between you and your lawyer. Your personal injury is likely the most important concern in your life right now. We understand, and you can trust that your personal injury is our priority as well.

It’s clear how seriously we take our duty to fight for personal injury victims just by looking at how we treat each person we represent. When you put your injury claim in our hands, you get our full attention and steadfast support. You can reach out to our Miami workers’ compensation lawyers by phone even after business hours and on weekends. As a client, you’ll have your lawyer’s cell phone number. If you can’t come to our Miami office, we will come to you, call you, or email you anytime—in the hospital, at work, home, or wherever is convenient for you.

Workers’ Compensation Lawsuits

In return for the time, effort, and energy that you devote to your employer, you should expect fair compensation and a safe place to work. Should you ever have the misfortune of suffering an injury while working, you should expect your employer and/or its insurance carrier to compensate you fairly. We fight to get on-the-job injury victims the financial compensation they deserve.  Florida established its Workers’ Compensation system so that employees could automatically get medical care and compensation for their suffering. Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies have abused that system, frequently denying claims or offering injured workers far less than they deserve. Employers and their insurance companies are very good at reducing their “exposure” by denying benefits and paying you less than what your case is worth.

Payer Law is ready to fight for you. We care about our clients, and we have an exceptional record of success. If you’ve been injured on the job, please contact our Miami workers’ compensation lawyers and learn more about what we can do for you.

What Can You Recover in a Florida Workers’ Compensation Lawsuit?

In Florida, your Workers’ Compensation benefits may include:

  • Medical expenses (doctor and hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, medications, etc.)
  • Temporary disability benefits (compensation for lost wages while away from work)
  • Permanent disability benefits (lost wages and relevant living expenses caused by your inability to return to work after an injury)
  • Death benefits (paid to particular family members after an employee is killed in a job-related incident)

It’s important to note that the following generally are not available in Workers’ Compensation claims:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Punitive damages
  • Other forms of personal injury compensation that are not specifically provided for under the Workers’ Compensation rules

Going Outside the Florida Workers’ Compensation System (under certain circumstances)

In many cases, you are able to take additional action against third parties. In other words, beyond merely filing a claim against your employer’s insurance carrier, if other parties were negligent and contributed to your accident, you may be able to file suit against those third parties and recover additional compensation for you that would not be subject to the limitations of the workers’ compensation system.

Since these third-party lawsuits often fall outside of the Florida workers’ compensation system, you may be able to pursue the full range of damages that available in personal injury lawsuits, including damages for pain and suffering. Often, clients can recover more in these third-party lawsuits than through the workers’ compensation claim by itself.

Third-party defendants might include:

  • Vehicle drivers
  • State or local governments
  • Co-workers
  • Property owners
  • Contractors / sub-contractors
  • Equipment manufacturers
  • The medical personnel who treat your work-related injuries
  • Any other party whose negligence contributes to your injuries

Payer Law can thoroughly investigate your injury and identify every available source of compensation in your case.

Schedule a Worker’s Compensation Claim Consultation Today

If you’ve been injured in the course of your job duties, our Miami workers’ compensation lawyers can help. Time limits apply, though, so you should contact our office and schedule a free consultation as soon as you can. We’re here to assist you!

As an injured worker, some of the benefits that may be available to you may include:

  • Change of your current authorized treating doctor
  • Indemnity benefits Impairment benefits
  • Reimbursement for mileage for travel to medical appointments
  • Possible monetary settlement of your workers’ compensation claim.

You should not expect that the insurance carrier handling your claim will necessarily advise you of all of the benefits available to you under the law. Sometimes they are only interested in saving money by providing you with fewer benefits. Some insurance carriers believe that the less they pay you in benefits, the more money they save for themselves.

A Message from Attorney James D. Payer

I’ve practiced personal injury & workers' compensation law in the Miami area for over two decades. In that time, I’ve seen many serious and significant injuries caused by the neglect and carelessness of others. But I’ve also seen the victims of devastating accidents make dramatic and inspirational recoveries with the compensation they need and deserve to heal. We’re talking about compensation that covers the cost of medical treatment, physical and emotional therapy, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you owe it to yourself and your family to get your life back on track. Enlisting the help of an experienced personal injury attorney is the first step to doing so. I have made it my life’s work to pursue the rights of accident victims, and to do this properly and meaningfully, I believe in providing personal attention to my clients. I will work with you directly and put all my knowledge and resources behind fighting for your recovery.

Another way we provide premium service to our clients is by limiting our caseload to serious accidents and catastrophic injuries. I take pride in the fact that Payer & Associates is not a “mill” of revolving clients and cases. We don’t want to be, and we don’t need to be—due to the significant recoveries we achieve for our clients. So, if you’re ready to get the legal help you need after an accident, please give me a call.
