Work Injuries

During our many years of representing injured workers in Miami and surrounding communities, The Cochran Firm South Florida has seen many different types of work-related injuries. Physical injuries, occupational illnesses, and even mental illnesses may be covered under the Workers’ Compensation program in Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Fort Myers, and surrounding areas in south Florida. If you would like to learn more about the rules surrounding benefits and find out if your injury qualifies you for payments, please call or e-mail our work injury lawyers for in-depth review of your rights.

Examples of Injuries

Any of the following types of work injuries may qualify a disabled worker for compensation through an employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurance policy, or the Florida Workers’ Compensation fund. Keep in mind that the work injury must limit a person’s ability to complete his or her job duties, or prevent that person from making a living with any type of work in order to receive benefits.
