If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, including medical treatment, lost wages, and disability payments. Unfortunately, many workers face denied claims, delayed payments, or unfair treatment from employers and insurance companies.
At Finlay Law Firm, we fight for injured workers in Miami, Coral Gables, and throughout South Florida to ensure they receive the benefits and compensation they are legally owed. With over 15 years of experience, including a background in insurance defense, Attorney Javier Finlay understands the tactics insurers use to deny claims—and how to challenge them effectively.
Workers in construction, healthcare, transportation, and office environments face daily risks that can lead to serious, life-changing injuries. We handle workers’ compensation claims related to:
Injuries from wet floors, uneven surfaces, or workplace hazards.
Forklifts, cranes, and industrial tools can cause severe injuries.
Carpal tunnel, back pain, and joint strain from repetitive tasks.
Injuries suffered while driving for work, including truck and delivery accidents.
Injured workers may be eligible for medical expenses, lost wages, temporary or permanent disability payments, and rehabilitation services.
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a workers’ compensation claim within two years of the accident.
If your employer or their insurance provider denies, delays, or undervalues your claim, you have the right to appeal the decision and fight for your benefits. We can help.
Workers’ compensation laws typically prevent employees from suing their employer, but if a third party (such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Beyond sudden accidents, workers’ compensation also covers occupational illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous chemicals, toxic substances, or repetitive stress injuries that develop over time. If your work conditions contributed to a long-term injury or illness, you may still be eligible for benefits.
A consultation costs nothing—but waiting could cost you everything.
