This post will discuss changes in the law for employees who are injured on the job, also known as workers' compensation.

Workers Compensation refers to benefits that cover an employee in the event of a work related illness or accident. These benefits cover the employee in the event they are not able to work for an extended period of time.

Charlie Crist, governor of the State of Florida, signed a new workers' compensation bill into law which puts a cap of $1,500.00 on the attorneys' fees that an injured worker can pay their lawyer on a workers' compensation claim.

Unfortunately, this unfair law has the effect of limiting an injured employee's access to legal representation.

A friend of mine has written an in-depth article on workers compensation law which I think is beneficial to share with you.
