Work Related Claims
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. If you have
been injured on the job,
Workers’
Compensation law likely applies. These laws are
designed to protect employees who have been injured
while on the job. Furthermore, even though your injury
occurred while working, you may be entitled to pursue a
claim against any negligent party who caused your
injuries.
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.
Chalik & Chalik Law Offices has experience in representing the needs of American workers injured on the job. 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 "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:
