Think twice before you post while your workers' compensation claim is open. Insurance companies may review public social media accounts, and a photo taken out of context, like helping a friend move or a day at the beach, can be used to question your injury. Consider setting your accounts to private and avoid posting about your accident or your case. 📱 Call 305-377-1505 for a free consultation.

If you and the insurance company disagree about your benefits, your case may go to mediation. In Florida, most disputed workers' compensation claims go through mediation before a hearing with a Judge of Compensation Claims. A neutral mediator helps both sides try to resolve the issues. Knowing what to expect helps you prepare. Have a dispute with the insurer? Call De Cardenas Freixas Stein & Zachary, P.A. at 305-377-1505.

Every time you see a doctor for your work injury, explain clearly how the accident happened and describe all of your symptoms. Your medical records become some of the most important evidence in your claim. Differences between what you tell your doctor, your employer, and the insurance company can be used to question your case. Consistent, accurate information protects you. 🩺 Call 305-377-1505 for a free consultation.

Had a bad back or knee before your work accident? You may still have a workers' compensation claim. Florida law can cover a work injury that aggravates a pre-existing condition, though strict standards apply. Generally, the work accident must be the major contributing cause of your need for treatment. Be honest with your doctor about your medical history from the start. Call 305-377-1505 for a free consultation.

October is National Protect Your Hearing Month. Years of working around loud machinery, power tools, or heavy equipment can cause permanent hearing loss. Construction, manufacturing, airport, and warehouse workers face some of the highest exposure. Occupational hearing loss may be covered under Florida workers' compensation, but these claims require strong medical documentation. If your hearing has changed because of your job, call 305-377-1505 for a free consultation.

Hurt on the way to work? In Florida, your normal commute to and from work generally is not covered by workers' compensation. There are exceptions, though. If you were traveling as part of your job, running an errand for your employer, or riding in employer-provided transportation, you may be covered. The details of your trip matter. Call 305-377-1505 and we can review your situation.

Are you covered by workers' compensation? In Florida, it depends on your industry. Construction employers with even one employee must carry coverage. Most other employers need coverage once they have four or more employees, and agricultural employers have their own thresholds. Being labeled an "independent contractor" does not always mean you are not an employee. Not sure where you stand? Call 305-377-1505 for a free consultation.

10/07/2026

Wondering why your first wage check did not cover your first week out of work? Florida workers' compensation has a seven-day waiting period. Wage benefits generally are not paid for the first seven days of disability, unless your disability lasts more than 21 days. In that case, you can be paid for that first week too. Medical care is not subject to this waiting period. Call 305-377-1505 for a free consultation.
