- Workers compensation: 20%
Workers injured on the job are often facing both their employers and large insurance companies. The system does not always work quickly and can be confusing or difficult for an injured employee who is not represented by an attorney. Injured workers are entitled to certain benefits, which could be denied by the insurance company. I can help you explore your rights and benefits under Florida's Workers' Compensation Law. Call today for a free consultation.

Discrimination is hurtful to employees. It is important that if you feel you are discriminated against that you follow the employers policy about reporting discrimination. Discrimination is a violation of federal law and in Florida, state law as well.
