Can I file a personal injury claim if I was injured while working remotely from home in Florida?

Yes, depending on how the incident occurred. While workers' compensation under Fla. Stat. § 440.09 covers injuries arising out of employment duties, working from home often involves third-party liability. If your injury was caused by a defective piece of work equipment, such as a collapsing ergonomic chair or a faulty computer power supply, you can bring a product liability claim against the manufacturer. If a visiting delivery courier or contractor negligently created a hazard that injured you during work hours, they can be held liable. At The Altman Law Firm, Jeffrey S. Altman identifies whether negligent third parties share financial responsibility beyond statutory workers' compensation limits.
