What should I do immediately after suffering a workplace injury in Florida?
After suffering a workplace injury, protect your health and legal rights by taking four essential steps: 1. Report the injury to your supervisor in writing within 30 days, as required under Fla. Stat. § 440.185. 2. Seek medical treatment promptly from an authorized physician, or call emergency services if severely hurt. 3. Document the scene by photographing dangerous conditions, machinery, and visible injuries, and collect contact details from witnesses. 4. Consult The Altman Law Firm to determine whether a negligent third party shares liability beyond workers' compensation coverage.
