Florida law offers multiple ways to recover damages after a construction site injury—even if your employer says otherwise. You may be eligible for:

Workers’ Compensation
Covers medical bills and part of your lost wages. It’s a no-fault system, meaning you can receive benefits even if no one is directly to blame.

Third-Party Injury Claims
If someone other than your employer (like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible, you may have a valid personal injury lawsuit.

Wrongful Death Claims
If your loved one passed away in a construction accident, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation death benefits.

Florida Statute of Limitations 
In Florida, you generally have two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

While workers’ comp prevents you from suing your employer, you can take legal action against other responsible parties. For example, if a faulty harness, crane, or power tool caused your injury, the manufacturer or contractor might be liable.

Our firm regularly handles third-party construction claims in Stuart and can determine if you qualify for additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.

Construction Site Wrongful Death Claims

If a fatal construction accident takes the life of someone you love, their surviving family may be entitled to:

• Death benefits through workers’ comp
• Additional compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit

Damages may include:

• Medical bills
• Funeral costs
• Lost future income
• Loss of companionship
• Emotional distress

Under Florida law, your employer or their insurance company typically selects the treating physician. However, if you’re not satisfied with their choice, you’re allowed to request a new doctor—but only once.

We can help you navigate this process so you receive the care you truly need.

What If My Employer Denies My Claim?

Employers and insurers may try to dispute your claim for various reasons:

• Claiming your injury isn’t work-related
• Alleging you missed a filing deadline
• Accusing you of being intoxicated or fighting

Even if your claim has been denied, it’s not over. Our construction negligence attorneys in Stuart can help you file an appeal and work toward getting that denial reversed. We’re here to support you through the entire process.
