Ft. Lauderdale Workers’ Compensation Defense Lawyers

Miami, Hollywood, Sunrise, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach, Florida

Workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect both the employees who are injured AND the employer. While most workers’ compensation claims may be valid, some are fraudulent or just plain excessive with insurance companies, self-insured businesses and government agencies paying the price. This is where our workers’ compensation defense lawyers can help.

Experienced Workers' Compensation Defense Lawyers
Massey, Coican, Schuster & King has been helping insurance companies, businesses and municipalities stem the tide of fraudulent and excessive workers' compensation claims in Florida for more than thirty years. Though most workers’ compensation claims, Longshoreman injury claims, Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), and Jones Act injury claims are legitimate, claims shouldn’t just receive automatic approval. A good defense, based on an appeal to facts and the understanding of Florida’s labor laws, will often result in a successful denial of benefits against fraudulent and excessive claims.

Our workers' compensation defense attorneys have experience handling a wide range of workplace injury defense cases. We have a thorough knowledge of how labor law affects injury claims. This experience helps us determine when it is appropriate to call on medical experts and other professionals for facts and expert testimony.

When evaluating a case, our attorneys look at every aspect of the events leading up to the accident, how the accident occurred, and the medical file. In particular, we look for evidence of fraud or third-party liability. We construct a defense that frames our position clearly and accurately, as we aggressively protect our client's interests in negotiations or in court.

Though most workers' comp claims are filed to a company’s insurance carrier, our workers’ compensation lawyers are also skilled in handling the following types of Florida workers’ comp defense claims:

• Claims involving self-insured companies
• Claims filed against city and county municipalities and government agencies
• Longshoreman and Harbor Workers’ defense claims
