Florida law requires that your employer, or your employer's insurance company, pay you or your family certain benefits for injuries or death that may occur while you are working. You or your family may be entitled to:

- Biweekly benefits while you are temporarily disabled and unable to work.
- Payment of your medical expenses.
- Permanent disability benefits.
- Death benefits to the dependants of workers killed on the job
- Lump sum settlement.

What should I do if I am injured?

You should report the injury immediately to your employer. If you cannot reach an agreement with your employer or their insurance carrier, as to what benefits or medical expense payments you are entitled to, we can file a claim on your behalf and will do everything within our reach to insure that you receive your workers' compensation benefits.

If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Marcos Gonzalez & Associates Toll Free at (800) 352-HURT or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
