Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

Re: Injury

There are a lot of facts that we need in order to properly answer your question. Regardless, it appears that you may also have a 440.205 claim. If your case is still open you should contact an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail so that they can get you the help you need. If a doctor places you on light duty and the employer does not have light duty available for you then you are entitled to some of your wages from the workers' compensation carrier if in fact this is a compensable claim. There is also a portion of the statute which addresses the first seven days folowing an injury but need more information from you in order to properly address. Regardless I do recommend you seek the assistance of an attorney. The statue of limitations on your claim runs one year after your last treatment with an authorized treating physician or one year from the actual injury if no doctor was provided by the insurance carrier but you did properly report the claim FYI. Good Luck!
