Workers Compensation Immunity

Typically in Florida employers have what we call workers’ compensation immunity, meaning that you cannot sue them if you’ve been injured at the workplace or on the job, but that only applies if your employer carries workers’ compensation coverage for you.

So if you’re injured at the workplace, or on the job, or at a construction site and you do not have workers’ compensation benefits that provide you medical treatment or loss of wages, it’s imperative that you contact a reputable law firm to assess whether or not you have a viable claim against your employer for that injury that you’ve suffered on the job.
