What if my Employer refuses to let me see a doctor when I’ve been injured on the job in Florida?
March 4, 2026 | By Jeff HowellThen you really need an experienced Florida Workers Compensation attorney to help you. This is because you need an advocate to bring a claim against the employer or convince their insurance company to accept the claim.
It should also be pointed out that an employer who attempts to prevent an employee from filing a claim under Florida’s Workers Compensation Act, may be answerable to a lawsuit in civil court. Florida law states:
440.205 Coercion of employees.—No employer shall discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate, or coerce any employee by reason of such employee’s valid claim for compensation or attempt to claim compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Law.
