When Florida residents are injured in the workplace, Chalik & Chalik Law Offices comes through to stand up for workers’ rights.

Some jobs are inherently risky by nature. Workers’ Compensation laws exist to protect employees who get hurt at work and in the course of performing their jobs. The laws also allow for holding other negligent individuals and/or businesses accountable that may have played a role in causing the worker's injury to occur.

Have been injured at work?

You may think that your only recourse is to file a workers’ compensation claim, but you do have additional legal options. In Florida, workers’ compensation payments usually don’t provide enough of a recovery to help you feel whole again. Additionally, workers’ compensation isn’t going to cover your pain and suffering or the losses your family members have suffered. The attorneys of Chalik & Chalik Law Offices have the experience and determination to fight for the rights of people who get hurt at work or while doing their jobs -- and who need and deserve compensation. If you have suffered from an on-the-job injury, our lawyers will be sure to investigate whether you also have a claim against a negligent "third party," such as the manufacturer of unsafe equipment, the owner of the premises or vessel where the injury occurred (if different from your employer), or against another company whose employee caused the injury. Most work-related claims fall under the workers’ compensation program. However, certain types of claims -- railroad accidents, maritime accidents, and asbestos claims -- have specific laws and associated conditions. At Chalik & Chalik, we investigate each aspect of your work-related injury. For more information on specific work–related accidents, please see the pages below:
