Suffering a workplace injury can be overwhelming, but understanding your rights and the compensation process can make it easier to move forward. At One Stop Injury, we provide expert work injury compensation help to guide you through the complexities of filing a claim and securing the benefits you deserve.
What Is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation is a system designed to provide financial assistance to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses due to their job. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. In Florida, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, ensuring support for injured workers.
