How Our Orange City Work Injury Attorneys Can Help

If you are not getting any (or all) of the benefits you need from your workers’ compensation claim or are wondering how to file a personal injury claim against a negligent third party, your lawyer can help you take legal action. Some of the responsibilities they can take up for you include:

  • Reviewing Florida’s workers’ compensation rules and regulations with you
  • Appealing the insurance company’s decision if a claim is denied
  • Filing a lawsuit against a negligent third party
  • Collecting necessary evidence
  • Assessing your injury-based losses
  • Managing communication with insurance companies
  • Taking your case to court, if necessary

At Bogin, Munns & Munns, we bring over 40 years of experience serving injury victims throughout Central Florida. We treat every client fairly and with the respect they deserve.

We also work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront fees. Instead, you only pay us if (and when) we recover compensation for your case. Our Orange City personal injury lawyers are here for you throughout every step of the legal process.

Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Orange City

Depending on your injury, you may have expensive medical bills, lost wages, or, in some cases, may be facing a permanent disability. Key benefits are available under Florida’s Division of Workers’ Compensation. These include disability benefits, covered medical expenses, and death benefits. 

While workers’ compensation limits the types of losses that can be recovered, you may be eligible to recover additional losses when filing a personal injury lawsuit. These can include:

Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity

Whether you miss work for an extended period or are unable to return to the same job, your loss of income may be recoverable.

Medical Bills

Workers’ compensation may cover medical expenses until your doctor determines you’ve reached maximum medical improvement. You may also be reimbursed for travel to and from medical appointments. However, for workers’ compensation, you must see a doctor authorized by your employer’s insurance provider, except in cases of emergency care.

Medical expenses in a personal injury claim, against a negligent third party, may allow you to recover a wider range of expenses. For example, you can see the provider of your choice and can pursue full reimbursement of all medical bills, including out-of-pocket expenses.

Additional Losses That May Be Recoverable With a Personal Injury Lawsuit

In addition to medical and job-related losses, a personal injury lawsuit may also allow you to recover other types of losses. These can include:

  • Non-Economic Losses: For things such as physical pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life
  • Property Damage: If your personal equipment (such as a vehicle or protective gear) was damaged or destroyed in the incident

Common Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries happen every day across a variety of businesses. These injuries can be severe and are not limited to traditionally hazardous professions like construction work. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employers reported more than 2.6 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses.

Some injuries where a third party’s negligence may be involved include

  • Machinery Accidents: Heavy machinery represents a serious risk of injury, as it could crush a worker’s limb or entire body. If an independent contractor doesn’t use equipment properly, it can have devastating consequences.
  • Falls: Falls are among the most common injuries in workplaces. These accidents can include a slip and fall on a wet surface or due to other hazardous conditions that a property owner should have fixed.

These are only a few ways a workplace injury could lead to a claim for compensation. One of our Orange City work injury attorneys can discuss your legal options after a workplace injury.

How Our Orange City Work Injury Lawyers Investigate to Prove Third-Party Negligence

If someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, you may have grounds for a third-party personal injury claim. At Bogin, Munns & Munns, we conduct thorough investigations to uncover who is liable for your injury and to establish that negligence occurred. Here’s how we do it:

Site Inspections and Evidence Collection

We examine the accident scene, equipment, and conditions that led to your injury. This may include:

  • Photographs or videos of the site
  • Maintenance and safety records
  • OSHA violation history
  • Tool or machinery inspections

Identifying Liable Parties

Third-party claims often involve:

  • Contractors or subcontractors
  • Property owners or managers
  • Equipment manufacturers or suppliers
  • Delivery or transport companies

We analyze contracts, roles, and responsibilities to determine who may be held accountable.

Witness Interviews

We speak with co-workers, supervisors, safety personnel, and bystanders to gather testimony on what happened and whether any safety rules were violated.

Expert Testimony

When needed, we work with workplace safety experts, engineers, or medical professionals who can clarify how negligence occurred and how it led to your injury.

Documentation Review

We obtain and review all relevant reports, such as:

  • Employer incident reports
  • Insurance claims
  • Law enforcement or OSHA investigations
  • Manufacturer recalls or warnings

By uncovering third-party fault, we can pursue additional compensation beyond what workers’ comp allows. If you believe someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, our team is ready to investigate and protect your rights.
