Injured On The Job We Can Help

Comp Benefits. Third-Party Claims. Full Strategy.

If you need a workplace accident lawyer in Florida, Wooster Law reviews your workers' comp benefits and any lawsuit against negligent third parties. Construction sites across Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach County, warehouses near Boca Raton, and road crews in Lake County present serious risks. We coordinate medical evidence, wage loss, and liability so you are not left with partial coverage.

Workers' Comp Versus Personal Injury

Know Every Path To Recovery

Workers' Compensation


No-fault benefits provide medical treatment and partial wage replacement, but not pain and suffering. Reporting deadlines and authorized doctors matter. We help you avoid delays and denials.

Third-Party Lawsuits


If a subcontractor, equipment maker, or negligent driver caused your injury, we can pursue full damages. Pain and suffering and complete wage loss may be available. We coordinate with any comp claim to address liens.

Rare Employer Liability


If your employer lacked required coverage or committed intentional misconduct, separate claims may apply. We assess facts and advise on options.

Common Workplace Accidents

From High-Rise Sites To Office Floors

Construction Site Accidents

Falls from height, crane incidents, and struck-by events are common on booming South Florida projects. Safety plans and subcontractor roles are key evidence.

Industrial & Warehouse Injuries

Forklift collisions, conveyor malfunctions, and crush injuries require fast investigation. Maintenance logs and training records matter.

Office And Retail Injuries

Slip and falls and repetitive strain still disrupt income and health. We help document and file clean claims.

Vehicle Accidents While Working

If you were hit while driving for work, both comp and a third-party auto claim may apply. We handle both fronts.

Your Rights After A Work Injury

Care, Wages, And Job Protection

Most Florida employers must carry workers' comp, and retaliation for filing is illegal. You have the right to treatment and wage benefits while you recover. If benefits are delayed or denied, Wooster Law steps in.


Maximizing Compensation

Do Not Leave Money On The Table

We identify all responsible parties and policies to expand recovery beyond basic comp. Product defects, unsafe subcontractors, or negligent drivers can change outcomes dramatically. Our team quantifies future care, diminished earning capacity, and permanent impairment.

Workplace Accident Questions Answered

Clarity When Your Paycheck Stops

  • Should I get a lawyer for my workers’ comp claim?

    If your injury is serious, treatment is delayed, or benefits are denied, getting legal help is wise. Straightforward claims may proceed without counsel, but many do not stay simple. We can connect you with a workers’ comp specialist and manage any related third-party claims.

  • Can I sue my employer for my injury?

    If your employer provides workers’ compensation, that is typically your exclusive remedy. Most of the time, you cannot sue them for negligence. However, we can pursue claims against negligent third parties, such as subcontractors or manufacturers.

  • What benefits does workers’ comp provide?

    Workers’ comp covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages up to statutory limits. It does not cover pain and suffering. We explore third-party claims to help you recover fully.

  • A coworker’s mistake hurt me. Is that considered third-party liability?

    Usually not, since coworkers are treated like the employer under workers’ comp. Third-party liability refers to someone outside your employer’s organization. We carefully analyze roles and contracts to identify outside liability when available.

  • What if my claim is denied or benefits are insufficient?

    You can appeal denials and request hearings. We help fight denials and investigate additional responsible parties. Our goal is to pursue full compensation through every available path.
