Common Types of Workplace Accidents in Miami Beach

Miami Beach is a well-known resort town located off the coast of Florida on a barrier island. The city is surrounded by Biscayne Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It was incorporated in March 1915 and has since grown to a population of more than 92,300 people. However, the population on any given summer day may be much higher. Miami Beach sees millions of visitors each year. They come to see the world-renowned resorts and beaches and enjoy the restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and history of the area.

A lot of work goes in to maintaining the island for residents and visitors. The island has many hospitality, retail, food service, utility, construction, and other workers. While some of these industries are relative safe, other industries like construction, have higher rates of accidents and injuries. If you are a Miami Beach worker who is injured in a work-related accident, call us right away.

Who Was At-Fault for Your Work Accident?

One of the reasons we recommend calling a lawyer as soon as possible after a workplace accident is to have someone perform a thorough and independent investigation. A Miami Beach work injury attorney from Gerson & Schwartz P.A. will gather and analyze evidence to determine who was directly at fault for the accident and who is liable for compensating you for your injuries.

If a coworker or someone else employed by the same business is responsible the for the accident and your injuries, then you need to determine if you have workers’ comp insurance. If you are covered by workers’ comp, you cannot sue your coworker or employer for damages.

If someone from outside of your employer caused you harm, then you may have a third-party liability claim, whether or not you have workers’ comp insurance.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage in Florida

If you are an employee in Florida, you may have worker’ compensation coverage. Florida law requires that non-construction businesses with four or more employees, including business owners who are corporate officers of LLC members, must carry workers’ comp. Agricultural industry businesses with six or more regular employees and/or 12 seasonal workers who work more than 30 days in a season must carry the insurance. In the construction industry, businesses with one or more employees, including owners who are corporate officers or LLC members, but have workers’ comp insurance.

If you have workers’ comp coverage and are hurt at work, then you need to inform your employer of your injury right away and begin the claim process. A Miami Beach work injury lawyer can guide you through this process and help you obtain the maximum benefits possible.

If you are not covered by workers’ comp, talk with one of our personal injury lawyers at Gerson & Schwartz P.A. as soon as possible. You may have the right to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party, including if that party is your employer.

Third-Party Liability Claims

When the party at fault for your injuries was someone from outside of your employer, then you should talk with a lawyer about filing a third-party personal injury claim. Whether or not you are eligible for workers’ comp, you can hold an at-fault third party liable through a lawsuit and/or insurance claim.

Our work injury attorneys in Miami Beach will guide you through a third-party claim and fight for you to receive the maximum compensation possible, including:

Past, current, and future medical expenses
Lost wages and benefits
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish and emotional distress
Disability
Disfigurement

Reduced quality of life
Reduced earning capacity

A big shout out to Nick Gerson & Schwartz for helping me navigate my care after a fall against a major cruise ship. They took care of me all along the way and saw me through such a very hard time. I highly recommend their firm if you are looking for a firm that truly cares about you. 5 Stars all the way! Janna Wright, Google User

Mr Nick Gerson has been extremely attentive (even on weekends!) and has been more than willing to take time to answer all my questions. His receptionist (Suzanne) and paralegal (Carla) are courteous, friendly and highly efficient in all matters. Mr Gerson's diligence lead to a very quick resolution of my case. I am more than pleased to recommend you seek him as your attorney. You will not regret you did!! G.I.B.

Mr. Gerson and all his team gave to my case the careful and professional attention it needed from the beginning to end. Unfortunately, a year ago I was involved in a car accident on the victim side. I have appreciation for the good service that was given to me and my situation. Thanks. Cales & Mr. Hyde (Carlos Andrés García Jiménez), Google User
