South Florida Work Accident Lawyer

Results-Focused Workplace Injury Attorney Dayle Lopez Helps Injured Workers Recover the Financial Resources They Need After Being Hurt on the Job in Coral Gables, Miami, the Florida Keys, Miami-Dade County, Central Florida, North Florida, and Throughout the State

Work accidents have the potential to cause devastating personal injuries, especially for people who work with equipment and machinery or in some of the more dangerous industries and professions in Florida. After you have been hurt in a work accident, you may have multiple legal avenues for getting the financial resources to help you in your recovery. If you were injured in a work accident that was the fault of somebody outside of your employer or business, you may have the option of pursuing a personal injury claim. A South Florida work accident lawyer from DLopez Law Firm can help you evaluate your legal rights following a workplace injury.

Our firm is dedicated to providing you with efficient, empathetic legal representation if you have been hurt at work. With our firm, you can expect to have your attorney handle your case from intake through the whole life of the case. We provide close communication for our clients, and you will always have direct access to your South Florida work accident lawyer when you have questions or need an update on your case. We also serve the Hispanic and immigrant communities with our fully bilingual staff. 

Why You Need the DLopez Law Firm for Your Work Injury Third-Party Claim

Founding attorney Dayle Lopez not only represents the South Florida community, but she is also a part of it. As an immigrant herself, she is fluent in both English and Spanish. She has lived in South Florida most of her life and has dedicated her career to defending the rights of the injured.

We decided to open our business because we’ve seen the far-reaching consequences of injury law firms that operate like large corporations, and we wanted to do it differently. After a client hires a large firm they communicate almost exclusively with an assistant throughout their entire case. As a result, the attorneys don’t have the time to get to know the clients and will represent them without any regard for the way their case truly impacts their life. 

We recognized a need in the market for an injury law firm that takes us back to the roots of personalized service. For this reason, DLopez Law Firm has been established as a boutique business where clients are selected very carefully to make sure that all of our resources are allocated to the best of our ability to each and every case.

We maintain close, personal relationships with our clients (and their families) throughout the entirety of the legal process. As skilled negotiators and aggressive advocates, we do not stop fighting until our clients are compensated fairly for their injuries.

What Are Your Options for Compensation After a Workplace Injury?

After you have been injured on the job, you may have multiple options for recovering compensation that can help you treat your injury and pay your bills. First, a worker who is injured on the job in Florida is usually entitled to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, which can provide money for medical treatment as well as partial replacement of lost wages.

However, workers’ compensation can only provide limited compensation. If a third party is responsible for your work accident – such as if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident on the job or by a defective piece of equipment or machinery – then you may be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim that can provide you with full compensation for all your losses from a work accident. Compensation that is available in an injury lawsuit includes:

  • Medical expenses
  • Full compensation for past, ongoing, and future losses of income
  • Physical pain
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment and quality of life due to physical disability and disfigurement/scarring

Frequently Asked Questions about Work Accidents in South Florida

What steps should you take after being hurt at work?

If you are injured on the job, you should first notify your employer about your injury and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. You should also try to document the work accident by taking photos or video of the scene and whatever may have caused the accident (such as defective equipment or machinery you use at work). Be sure to keep copies of all bills and invoices for expenses you incur due to your work injury, as well as copies of your pay stubs if you miss time from work during your recovery. Finally, speak to a South Florida work accident lawyer as soon as you can to discuss your legal options for pursuing financial recovery.

How long do you have to file a personal injury lawsuit after a workplace accident?

When you are hurt at work by a third party’s actions or omissions, the statute of limitations in Florida typically gives you four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against those third parties. If you file suit after the limitations period expires on your legal claim, your case can be promptly dismissed by the trial court as untimely filed. For that reason, you need to speak with a South Florida work accident lawyer soon after a workplace accident to get started on preparing and pursuing your case.
