Why We’re Different

From Workers’ Compensation Insurance Insider to Workers’ Advocate

Before founding Berlin Law Firm, attorney Stephen Berlin spent 17 years managing claims for one of Florida’s largest insurance carriers. He saw firsthand how insurers minimize payouts and delay care. For the past 30+ years, he’s been using that knowledge to fight for workers and to make sure insurance companies don’t get the last word. 

Today, Berlin Law Firm represents injured workers across Florida from our offices in Sarasota and Tampa. Our team includes experienced attorneys and staff who focus exclusively on workers’ compensation law, giving clients personal attention and clear guidance every step of the way.

Areas of Practice

Work Injuries and Conditions

With more than three decades of experience handling workers’ compensation claims, we are familiar with almost every type of job-related injury–from carpal tunnel syndrome to muscle strains and broken bones. Our attorneys have successfully handled challenging cases stemming from fatal work accidents, repetitive stress injuries, as well as pre-existing conditions that were aggravated at work.

What We All Cover

Common Work Accident Causes

Workplace accidents don’t just happen in construction — they affect workers in nursing, warehouses, restaurants, delivery, and offices across Florida.  

Some of the most common causes include: 

  • Falls, slips, and trips. Falls from ladders or scaffolds and slips on wet or cluttered floors are among the leading causes of serious workplace injuries. 
  • Transportation incidents. Vehicle crashes and equipment accidents are common in industries that rely on driving, deliveries, or heavy machinery. 
  • Struck-by accidents. Being hit by falling objects, moving equipment, or unsecured loads can cause fractures, head injuries, and other severe harm. 

Every industry carries risks — from construction sites with heavy machinery and scaffolding to office spaces where slips or repetitive strain can cause lasting harm. Construction remains the most dangerous, with accidents involving falls from heights, machine rollovers, electrocution, or falling objects. But serious injuries also happen in workplaces that may seem safe. 

If you’re unsure whether your accident is covered, it’s important to get answers. Workers’ compensation may cover you even if your employer suggests otherwise.  

Other Areas We Cover

Maximizing Recovery After Serious Work Injuries

A catastrophic workplace injury affects every part of life — not just your ability to earn a paycheck. Serious burns, paralysis, head and spinal injuries, or multiple fractures can impact your health, your home, and your family’s future. 

At Berlin Law, we fight for more than just the basics. That means pursuing coverage for ongoing medical treatment, necessary equipment like wheelchairs or lifts, and home modifications that allow you to live safely and independently. Our goal is to help you regain stability and quality of life after a serious injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to questions you may already have

Insurance companies will do everything in their power to compensate you, but not fairly. They want to minimize their responsibility and the compensation you receive. Section 440 of the Florida law outlines the classes of benefits that you may be entitled to. An attorney will get you the compensation you deserve and need to get your life back on track.
 
Remember that in most instances, your employer and the insurance carrier will be working together to minimize the value of your claim. As such, be honest and forthright at all times but also understand that all communication with your employer or insurance adjuster can be used against you. Therefore, try to limit your discussions to the specifics of your job and medical treatment. Never discuss the status of your claim with your employer and never give a recorded interview to the Carrier. We will help you handle all correspondence and communication with your employer and carrier.
 
Under Florida law, the insurance company has the right to select your physicians. As such, in most cases, your workers compensation doctors will be ones that the insurance company knows will provide you with minimal treatment, testing and ones who will recommend that you return to work, even before you are medically able. There are provisions in the workers compensation laws which allow you to see alternative physicians who will give you a fair and accurate diagnosis of your medical condition.
Florida laws identify the various types of benefits to which you may be entitled. However, the amount of compensation to which you will be entitled will depend on several factors, including the type of injury, how it occurred, and more importantly, the type of legal representation you receive. Seeking immediate representation from an attorney is critical in the process. There are various considerations that need to be taken into account in regard to the injury. Our investigation of the injury, your medical prognosis, and your ability to return to work will all affect the compensation you receive.

Berlin Law Firm has offices in Sarasota and Tampa, staffed with bilingual attorneys and paralegals. We proudly serve the entire state of Florida.
