Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

Re: Disability

Well, that depends upon the type of disability to which you are referring, and the terms of that disability insurance policy. Remember, the disability insurance policy is a contract of insurance, with certain terms and conditions. However, if you are referring to disability benefits under workers' compensation, the question is no, you cannot continue to collect workers' compensation "disability" benefits after you settle your case.

Again, if you are referring to a disability policy of insurance, or some plan like State Disability Retirement plan, you should discuss the same with either the company that wrote the policy or the person(s) who administer the policy. Furthermore, there are attorneys that can advise you on disability insurance matters. That is beyond the scope of my practice.

Please keep in mind that the information provided is only a guide and should not be substituted for specialized legal advice. I would recommend you consult with a qualified workers' compensation and disability insurance attorney as soon as possible. Please don't rely only upon the information provided above.

Good luck
