Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

In Florida, an employer is responsible to pay for all medical related to the accident for the rest of your husband's life, as long as he continues to receive medical care from an authorized doctor within a year or continues on medication. An authorized doctor is a doctor chosen by the employer/carrier. Your husband is also entitled to about 2/3 of his income while out of work. This formula changes based on the status of your husband's ability to work and his medical condition.

Because the law is not easily to explain in a few short sentences, you need to seek legal help.

First, he was injured in CA. Was he hired in CA and was he paid in CA? Does Florida have anything to do with this claim other than that the company is located in FL? Each state has its own wc laws and structure. You need an attorney familiar with the state that is administering his claims. In Florida you get medical expenses paid and lost wages to the extent you cannot work. There is no money paid for lost quality of life in Florida. You can be compensated for attendant care up to 12 hours a day but it has to be done with a prescription from an authorized physician. Medicals are payable for the rest of his life and lost wages too, if he cannot work in any capacity. you need an attorney familiar with the laws in the appropriate state. Sorry for your problems.
