Can my employer be liable for my overexertion injury?
A: If you were injured on-the-job in Florida due to an overexertion injury and your employer has Florida workers' compensation coverage, you may be covered for injuries. To find out the benefits that you are entitled to, you need to contact a skilled Florida work injury lawyer to discuss your workers' comp claim.
If your employer doesn't have workers' compensation coverage and you suffered an overexertion injury at work due to their negligence, then your employer may be held liable for your injuries through a civil lawsuit. Also, if your employer failed to train you properly or provide a safe work environment, you can also hold them accountable for your Florida work injury.
For more information about your specific work injury case, please call a skilled South Florida work injury lawyer at the Law Office of David Benenfeld at 866-9 HELP NOW or 866-943-5766 to schedule a free legal consultation.

FAQs
Workers' Compensation
- I fell from a height at work. I suffered broken bones, but now my knee is hurting. Is it possible that a knee injury may not have shown up right away? If so, what should I do to get the necessary workers’ comp benefits?
- I was severely burned in Broward County at work. It has been a slow and painful recovery, and my income has dropped. Am I eligible for workers compensation from my job?
- I was injured while lifting something at work. Some have said that it must be my fault and I probably wont get workers compensation. Is that true?
