What if you are injured on the job, but the testing required to prove the injury takes time? How do you support yourself if your employer prohibits you to work until you receive a ‘full duty release’ from a doctor? Learn about your payment advance options covered by Florida Law.

To ensure your wishes, you better have them in writing. Under Florida law, any person may designate a surrogate to make health care decisions on their behalf, if they become incapacitated.

If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Florida Statute 440 outlines your rights and responsibilities under the workers' compensation system. The accident must be reported, and medical treatment provided from an authorized workers compensation provider. Discuss your accident and injury with your employer as soon as it happens. If medical treatment is not provided or wage benefits not paid, you may seek legal counsel.
