If you or a loved one has been seriously
injured while at work, we can help.

investigation and litigation of workers’ compensation claims.
We are known for our responsiveness, thorough and hands-on

our accessibility to our clients. We go wherever you need us
to be.
Our law firm is one of the established workers’
compensation practices in Florida. Led by founding attorney Howard
Grossman, a Florida Bar Emeritus Specialist in workers’
compensation law, we help people that were hurt or sickened in
the workplace apply for and receive workers’ compensation
benefits. We help injured employees throughout Florida from
our offices in Boca Raton, Clewiston and Jacksonville.
Workers’ compensation is a program designed to help people
who are injured or fall ill at work. Under the workers’ comp
system in Florida, injured workers are supposed to quickly
receive disability assistance, medical care, and wage
replacement benefits without regard to the employer’s fault
for the injury. This arrangement avoids drawn-out lawsuits by
workers against employers to get the money they need
immediately. However, oftentimes the employer or insurance
carrier for the employer contests the payment of benefits or
refuses to provide needed medical care.
Most people think of construction accidents or
assembly-line injuries when
they think of workers’
compensation. We help people with these types of “traditional”
workers’ compensation injuries, but we also help people in
more unusual situations, including EMT and health care worker
exposure to Hepatitis-C, HIV/AIDS, and other communicable
illnesses. We help with repetitive stress injuries, such as
carpal tunnel and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Our litigators
also help injured longshoremen and harbor workers receive
benefits under the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ compensation program and Defense Base
Act contractors in Iraq, Afghanistan and the world.
If a Florida worker is temporarily or permanently disabled,
the Florida Workers’ Compensation Act provides ongoing
disability payments for a limited time during the disability.
Our workers’ compensation attorneys can help prove the extent
of your disability and make sure that your benefits match your
needs, whether you face:
- Permanent total disability
- Permanent partial disability
- Temporary total disability
- Temporary partial disability
- Need for further medical treatment
- Need for attendant care
Workers’ compensation may not be your only recourse. In
many instances, another company or person other than the
employer shares responsibility. For instance, while
on-the-job, you may have been injured in a car accident due to
the negligence of another. If another person or company helped
bring about your workplace injury or illness, we will help you
pursue those people for recovery above and beyond workers’
compensation benefits.
At Grossman Attorneys at Law, we are a total resource for
injured people. If you or a member of your family has an
injury or an illness originating in the workplace, contact us
