Employees who get injured on the job are concerned about how their injury will impact their family, finances and future.  They generally don’t have a good understanding of how workers’ compensation works.  Neither do some employers.

Smith, Feddeler, Smith & Miles, P.A. is the only law firm in the state of Florida with 5 Florida Bar Board Certified Workers’ Compensation attorneys on staff.  Don’t rely on your employer, insurance carrier, nurse, case manager, doctor, friend or coworker for legal advice. Employers aren’t always familiar with the Florida Workers’ Compensation Law.  These laws constantly change and oftentimes employers give injured workers erroneous or false information out of ignorance.  The last thing an injured employee needs is to receive incorrect information about their injury case.

We at Smith, Feddeler, Smith & Miles, P.A. have experience dealing with over 20,000 workers’ compensation cases in Central Florida.  We have made the following observations over the years:

• Employers are afraid there will be an increase in their insurance premiums.
• Some doctors are persuaded and influenced by the insurance carriers that pay them.
• Insurance carriers are trying to save money, sometimes at the expense of the injured employee. Both employers and insurance carriers have law firms that represent them.

Because of these observations, it’s important to seek legal representation from a law firm that will protect you and your family’s best interests.
