Florida Workers’ Comp Back Injury lawyer
Few work injuries are more serious than those affecting the back. These injuries can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain and each one is cause for serious concern.
An injury to the back can be the result of a specific incident or something that occurs over time based on the nature of your work. Proper medical attention early on is essential for long-term recovery. As such, it is important that you demand that your injury be evaluated and treated by the proper physicians and that a specialized course of treatment is recommended and authorized.
Even minor work-related back injuries left untreated can deteriorate over time and cause serious issues and pain later in life. Factoring in the resulting potential wage loss, these injuries are not something that can be left untreated.

What to Do If You Have Experienced a Work-Related Back Injury
If you experience a workplace injury relating to your back or spine, you may need immediate treatment, including medications, physical therapy, diagnostic testing, injections, or even surgery.
Insurance companies are aware of the seriousness of these injuries and will work to gather evidence to deny your claim. They will send you to doctors on their preferred lists, deny medically necessary diagnostic tests, and encourage your physician to send you back to work without treatment or restrictions. Then, when they have convinced you that you do not need treatment or that your complaints are not valid, the insurance companies will try to settle your claim for a fraction of the cost of its true value.
When you hire a Florida workers’ compensation lawyer to champion your interests, you will level the playing field and significantly increase your chances of getting the full benefits you deserve for your back injury claim.
