What Should I Do Immediately After a Construction Accident in Florida?
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
As experienced attorneys at Kaiser Romanello Accident and Injury Attorneys, we understand the chaos following a construction accident. If you’ve been injured on a job site in Florida, taking the right steps immediately can protect your health, rights, and potential compensation. Below, we outline the essential actions based on Florida law and common practices.
Prioritize Your Health and Safety
First, seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. Delaying treatment can worsen conditions and weaken your claim. Under Florida workers’ compensation laws, your employer must provide medical care if the injury is work-related.
Report the Accident
Notify your supervisor or employer as soon as possible—ideally within 30 days to qualify for workers’ comp benefits. Failing to report promptly could bar you from compensation. Document the report in writing if possible.
Document Everything
Gather evidence at the scene: take photos of the accident site, equipment involved, and your injuries. Collect witness contact information and note details like weather or safety violations. This documentation is crucial for any workers’ comp or third-party claim.
Avoid Common Mistakes
Don’t sign anything without consulting a lawyer, and refrain from posting about the incident on social media, as it could be used against you.
Consult a Lawyer Early
Contacting an attorney like us at Kaiser Romanello can help navigate workers’ comp filings and explore third-party liability options.
