(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Just because you get a higher disability rating for a work-related back injury does not mean you are worse off in the long term than someone who gets a lower rating.

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?
