It does not matter how careful you are, accidents can and do happen. When you sustain an injury on the job, there is so much you need to deal with. Not only will you have to visit the doctor multiple times, but you will also most likely be out of work for a period of time. If you live in Florida, you are most likely eligible to receive workers compensation benefits when you are hurt at work.The state of Florida makes it a requirement for most of its companies to supply workers compensation insurance for their employees. Benefits function much like a type of wage reimbursement for workers unable to collect their regular paycheck while they are out of work with an injury. The amount an employee will receive depends on how severe the injury. Your employer does not have to be responsible for your injury to qualify for workers compensation benefits. All that matters is that the injury took place while you were performing your job.
