A workplace injury can disrupt your income, your health, and your family's stability in an instant. Florida's workers' compensation system is supposed to protect you — but navigating it without an attorney often means accepting far less than you're entitled to, or having your claim denied altogether.
Jeffrey Ville has helped Melbourne and Brevard County workers fight for the full workers' compensation benefits they deserve. If your claim has been delayed, underpaid, or denied, we can help.
Insurance companies deny workers' compensation claims regularly — sometimes on technicalities, sometimes in bad faith. If your claim was denied, you have the right to challenge that decision. Jeffrey Ville can review your claim, identify grounds for appeal, and fight to get your benefits reinstated.
Can I be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim in Florida?
No. Florida law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for filing a legitimate workers' compensation claim. If you believe you've been wrongfully terminated or demoted as a result, you may have an additional legal claim.
Can I sue my employer in addition to filing for workers' comp?
In most cases, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against your employer. However, if a third party (such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner) contributed to your injury, you may be able to pursue a separate personal injury lawsuit.
