Florida Workplace Dismemberment Lawyer
Dismemberment Workers’ Compensation claims are, for the most part, treated just like amputation claims. The fundamental difference is in the ‘timing’ of the loss of the body part. Dismemberments usually occur at the work location whereas amputations occur after the accident and in the hospital.
Losing an arm, a leg, a hand or a foot is like no other loss. You know that you are still the same person you were before the workplace accident, yet you probably cannot feel less than you were before the loss. Adapting to any amputation is a gradual process. You are no doubt grateful and relieved to even be alive after your brush with tragedy in a severe workplace accident. Yet you and those who care for you must live with the aftermath of the amputation.
In the near term, your amputation wound needs time to heal. It is not uncommon for amputees to experience phantom pains because of the way the nerve endings function. Even with the real and phantom pains, over the long term, you need to adapt to getting around or working around the fact that you have a permanent disability because you are missing a body part.
From a financial perspective, the short-term expenses will initially involve such things as ambulance transportation and care in the ER, surgery and other follow-up care and close monitoring of your healing with an eye on the prevention of infection. You will also likely miss a significant amount of work and need something to make up for your missed paychecks.
In the long-term financial expenses, you will find that medical equipment, prosthetics, physical therapy (occupational and psychological) as well as job retraining. Some people who suffer amputations have a hard time ever making a living as they did before. Construction workers, musicians and repairmen may find it impossible to work as before at similar jobs. A Florida workplace dismemberment lawyer can help when you suffer catastrophic injuries on the job.

You Need An Attorney Who Knows Dismemberment Claim Cases
If this dismemberment injury occurred because of a Tampa, Florida, workplace accident, you should rightfully expect your employer and their insurance company to provide quality care, cover all of your injury-related expenses, and compensate you while you are unable to work if you authorized physician indicates, for your resulting lost income. These are reasonable expectations, but all too often, you end up having to fight the insurance company for your rightful compensation.
You Are Covered By The Law: According to the Florida Workers’ Compensation Statute Chapter 440 Section 15 – you could qualify for Temporary Total or Temporary Partial Disability Wages and be entitled to up to 66% of your average weekly wages during the time period of such disability.

If this is your circumstance or you are worried that you may have such a disagreement with the insurance company, then now is the time to contact Kevin Moore’s Florida Workers’ Compensation Law Firm. Insurance companies are supposed to pay you every two weeks you are out of work because of your injuries. If they don’t pay you timely they owe you penalties and interest. They are also supposed to pay you based on your last 13 weeks of wages earned. In many cases, the insurance company incorrectly calculates your benefits incorrectly and underpays you. You need a lawyer to fight for your lost wage benefits.
