What Benefits Can I Receive After a Melbourne Workplace Injury?
Our Melbourne workers’ compensation lawyers understand the different types of workers’ compensation benefits you might receive if you are hurt at work. We will assess your case, explain the benefits you should expect, and ensure you are receiving fair compensation. In general, you could receive some of the following benefits:
- Medical benefits: Workers’ comp pays for all necessary medical care for your workplace injury or illness as long as you see an authorized care provider.
- Income replacement: Workers’ compensation provides partial wage replacement if you cannot work your usual hours or perform your previous job while you heal. You could generally receive two-thirds of your average weekly wage up to a statutory maximum.
- Impairment benefits: You can receive impairment benefits based on your permanent impairment rating (PIR) if you still have a disability after reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI).
- Vocational rehabilitation: If you cannot do your previous job, you may qualify for education, training, and other services to help you return to the workforce in a different position.
- Death benefits: Workers’ comp pays the dependents of workers fatally injured in on-the-job accidents. These benefits include reasonable funeral costs and partial wage replacement payments.

Our Melbourne Attorneys Understand How Important Workers’ Comp Is for Injured Workers
Our attorneys understand why workers’ compensation is vital for injured workers. We know you need your benefits approved as soon as possible so that you can get the medical treatment you need and partial wage replacement.
Workers’ compensation provides financial stability while you undergo treatment and heal. It also provides coverage if you have long-term or permanent impairments. Without an approved claim, you might need to pay out of pocket for your medical care and manage lost income through other means.
Our Personal Injury Attorneys Also Manage Third-Party Workplace Injury Cases
Some injured workers can file third-party claims or personal injury lawsuits based on their on-the-job injuries. This is possible if someone other than your employer or a coworker is liable for your workplace injuries.
For example, let’s say a defective product malfunctioned and injured you on the job. You may be able to sue the product manufacturer for damages that workers’ compensation does not cover, such as full income losses and pain and suffering damages.
Generally, you must take legal action within two years of a work-related accident, per Florida Statutes § 95.11. Missing this deadline could bar you from recovering compensation in a third-party case.
