O que acontece se um trabalhador independente se ferir em um canteiro de obras em Miami? Na The Altman Law Firm, entendemos a complexidade desses casos.

Independent contractors are generally not subject to the workers' compensation exclusivity bar under Fla. Stat. § 440.11. Consequently, if you are an independent contractor injured by hazardous conditions or carelessness on a job site, you can typically bring a direct personal injury lawsuit against the general contractor, site owner, or another subcontractor. Under Fla. Stat. § 768.81, your recovery depends on demonstrating the defendant's negligence and navigating comparative fault principles. Jeffrey S. Altman examines subcontractor contracts and safety compliance to help injured contractors pursue financial recovery.
