What medical benefits can I get under Florida’s Workers Compensation Law?

In a nutshell, the employer and their workers’ compensation insurance company is responsible for all care that is causally related to the on the job accident.  Neither the employer nor the insurance company is responsible for medical conditions that are unrelated to the accident, whether pre-existing or not.

However, some pre-existing conditions might be “aggravated or exacerbated” by the on the job accident.  This is where an experienced workers compensation attorney who is familiar with the law comes in.  Knowing the law and having experience with similar cases an experienced Florida attorney can help you prove whether this was a contributing cause to your current condition.
