Florida workers’ compensation is a no-fault system that covers most employees who are injured while performing job-related duties. This includes full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal workers.

- Non-construction companies with four or more employees

What Benefits Are Available If I Am Hurt at Work in Titusville?
Workers’ compensation insurance supports injured or sick workers. The goal is to provide income and medical care while you recover and help you return to work if possible. Florida workers’ compensation benefits generally include:
Medical Care Coverage
Workers’ comp insurance covers all necessary medical care for your work-related injury or illness. You must see an approved doctor who will bill the insurance company directly.
Wage Loss Benefits
Wage loss payments are often what people think of when considering workers’ comp benefits. These benefits make up for a portion of your lost income until you can return to work. They could include:
- Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): If you can return to work with restrictions but earn less than usual, you can receive a portion of the wage difference.
- Temporary Total Disability (TTD): You could receive two-thirds of your average weekly wage up to the current maximum if you cannot work temporarily due to your injuries.
- Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): If your injury causes a permanent impairment, you could receive benefits based on your impairment rating. Your doctor will assess this rating after you reach maximum medical improvement.
- Permanent Total Disability (PTD): If you are permanently unable to work because of your injury and new impairment, you could receive benefits until you reach age 75 (or for life if you don’t qualify for Social Security retirement benefits).
Vocational Rehabilitation
If your impairments prevent you from returning to your previous job, you could qualify for vocational rehabilitation. This could include job retraining or placement services.
Death Benefits
If your loved one died in a workplace accident, your family could receive benefits for funeral costs and wage loss.
Can a Titusville Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Tell Me If I Have a Viable Third-Party Claim?
The best way to learn if you might have a valid third-party case is to talk to our dedicated team at Bogin, Munns & Munns. We provide free case reviews so you can learn how a personal injury lawyer from our team can help.
In general, you may have a viable third-party case if you were hurt at work and the accident occurred because of a third party’s negligence. A third party is someone who is not your employer or a co-worker. If there is evidence that this third party caused your accident and injuries, our experienced attorneys can help you file a claim or lawsuit to hold them legally liable.
Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, we generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit based on the at-fault party’s negligence.
