If you were hurt on the job in Florida, workers’ compensation is supposed to cover your medical treatment and part of your lost wages — no matter who was at fault. In reality, employers and their insurance carriers routinely delay treatment, dispute injuries, and pressure workers back to the job before they’ve healed.
Attorney Lonnie Richardson has spent two decades making the system work for injured workers, including construction workers, hospitality staff, drivers, and laborers across Miami-Dade.

Deadlines matter
In Florida you generally must report a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, and a petition for benefits is subject to a two-year statute of limitations. If your claim was denied — or your checks suddenly stopped — don’t accept it as final.
It costs nothing to fight back
Workers’ comp attorney fees in Florida are set by statute and come from the recovery, not your pocket. Your consultation is free, in English or Spanish.
