Workplace Injury Lawyer in Hollywood & Broward, FL
Getting hurt on the job does more than cause pain. It threatens your paycheck, your ability to provide, and your peace of mind. Most injured workers are told the same thing: file workers’ compensation, and that is all you get. Very often, that is not the whole story. Workers’ compensation helps, but it is limited, and it does not touch the negligent parties outside your employer who may have caused your injury. At Furmanski Law Group, Daniel Furmanski looks at the entire picture and pursues every dollar you are owed, personally and aggressively, in English or Spanish.
Workers' compensation is a starting point, not the finish line
Florida workers’ compensation is designed to provide medical care and a portion of your lost wages without requiring you to prove who was at fault. That trade-off has real value, but it comes with hard limits. Workers’ compensation does not pay for your pain and suffering, it replaces only part of your income, and in exchange you generally cannot sue your own employer. What many workers are never told is that a second path may exist alongside their workers’ compensation claim, one that can recover far more.
When you can recover beyond workers' compensation
The key question is whether someone other than your employer caused your injury. When a third party is responsible, you may bring a separate claim against that party for the full value of your losses, in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits. That third party might be a subcontractor on a shared job site, the manufacturer of a defective machine or tool, a negligent driver who hit you while you were working, or a property owner who allowed a dangerous condition to exist. Identifying these claims takes a lawyer who looks beyond the obvious, and that is exactly what we do.
The work injuries we handle
We represent South Florida workers across the situations that cause the most serious harm. Our two core focus areas are construction site accidents, which carry their own dangers and their own web of potentially liable companies, and third-party liability claims, which unlock compensation that workers’ compensation alone cannot provide. We also help workers injured in warehouses and logistics, hospitality, landscaping, delivery driving, and other industries that power the region. Whatever your job, if someone’s negligence contributed to your injury, we want to hear about it.
What is at stake for your family
A serious work injury can mean surgeries, time away from a job you depend on, and uncertainty about whether you can return to the same work at all. The difference between accepting workers’ compensation alone and pursuing every available claim can be enormous for your family’s financial future. We build each case carefully, document the full extent of your losses, and refuse to let an insurer or employer minimize what your injury has cost you.
