Did you or someone you love get seriously injured at work? If you suffered an injury or if a loved one was fatally injured, you have options for financial recovery. In Florida, you can file a personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit against your employer. If this option does not fit your circumstances, you might be eligible for workers’ comp benefits.
