“It is the intent of the Legislature that the Workers’ Compensation Law be interpreted so as to assure the quick and efficient delivery of disability and medical benefits to an injured worker and to facilitate the worker’s return to gainful reemployment at a reasonable cost to the employer.” 
Section 440.015, Fla. Stat. (1997).

Complex issues related to the Workers Compensation Statute, the Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier and the employer can leave the injured employee confused during an already emotional and painful time.  As a member of the Florida Workers Advocate and Worker’s Compensation Section of The Florida Bar, Ms. Lordahl may be able to help you. 

If you have been injured on the job, your workers compensation insurance pays for medical bills related to the injury and any lost wages.  Injured workers often do not receive the appropriate benefits to which they are entitled.  If you believe you are denied the benefits you deserve after an on-the-job injury, please call our office for a consultation.
