Worker's Compensation

Fort Lauderdale Worker’s Compensation Lawyers

Injured workers have the right to collect worker's compensation benefits for medical care and lost wages for as long as they are unable to work because of a job-related illness or injury. Unfortunately, injured workers are regularly turned down for benefits and are left struggling to pay the bills.

If you have been turned down for workers' comp benefits, or told you have to go back to work before your doctor said you should, you need the help of a workers' comp lawyer to protect your rights.

Contact the Fort Lauderdale law office of Kopelowitz Ostrow Our lawyers will do everything we can to help you and your family cut through the red tape and get the money you need right away.

The attorneys at KO stand up for injured workers. We've helped thousands of injured workers across southern Florida get the money they need after workplace accidents or on-the-job chemical exposure left them with:

Back or neck injuries from falls, strains, or car accidents occurring on the job
Shoulder injuries from repetitive lifting, strain or falls, such as rotator cuff injury, bursitis, or tendonitis
Hand, wrist, and arm injuries, such as carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel injury from repetitive stress or broken bones from falls
Occupational illnesses

Receive the Financial Compensation You Need and Deserve

Workers' compensation pays for a variety of expenses in addition to medical treatment and rehabilitation services. It should cover medical devices and adaptive equipment, travel expenses to and from medical care providers, two-thirds of your lost wages while you are off work, and a lump sum payment for any lasting disability.

The amount of your benefit is based on a formula that looks at the type of injury, your level of disability, and how long you have been disabled. Your KO workers' comp attorney can explain how this formula is calculated and will work to ensure that you receive the full amount you should for any lasting disability.

Was Someone Else Responsible for Your Injury?

As a full-service personal injury law firm, our attorneys are experienced in identifying all the factors that may have contributed to your injury.

For example, if you were injured by defective equipment at work, we can bring a product liability lawsuit against the equipment manufacturer. If you were injured by a negligent driver while driving for work, we can help you with a car accident lawsuit.
