What Compensation Can Miami Construction Workers Recover for Workplace Injuries?
Florida workers’ compensation law ensures injured construction employees have access to critical benefits they need to live their lives. Through the workers’ comp system, injured construction workers are entitled to several benefits, including:
Medical Treatment Coverage
Workers’ compensation covers all medical costs related to your injury, including:
- Emergency room visits
- Surgery and follow-up care
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Prescription medications
- Travel expenses to medical appointments
Lost Income Benefits
Depending on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your ability to work, you may qualify for:
Temporary Total Disability Benefits
You generally receive 66.67% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum rate, when your injury prevents you from working completely. Temporary total disability benefits begin on the eighth day of disability and can continue for up to 104 weeks.
Temporary Partial Disability Benefits
Temporary partial disability benefits cover your lost wages if you can return to work with restrictions but earn less than 80% of your pre-injury wages. In this situation, you can receive 80% of the difference between your current and previous earnings.
Impairment Benefits
Once you reach maximum medical improvement, you receive benefits for long-term impairments based on your impairment rating. Payments vary based on your impairment rating.
Reemployment Services Assistance
The Florida workers’ compensation system also offers reemployment assistance if your injury makes it impossible to return to your previous job. Re-employment assistance includes career counseling and training programs for finding a new job.
