Respected South Florida Work Injury Attorneys Securing Maximum Compensation on Behalf of Injured Employees

An injury at work can turn your life upside down. Whether you fell off a ladder at a construction site or developed wrist pain from typing all day, you may suddenly find yourself in pain, out of work, and unsure of what to do next. Medical bills start piling up. Your paycheck stops. And the insurance company asks you to fill out confusing forms or give a statement. This is where our Cape Coral workers' compensation lawyers can help.

At Friedman Rodman Frank & Estrada, we have been helping injured workers since 1976. When you work with us, you do not have to deal with the insurance company alone. We step in quickly, protect your rights, and help you get the full compensation and medical benefits you are owed. You pay nothing to us unless we win your case.

What Is Workers' Compensation and How Does It Help?

Workers’ compensation is a system that helps employees who get hurt on the job. You do not need to prove that your employer did something wrong. If you were injured while working, you may be able to receive:

Your employer’s insurance company is supposed to provide these benefits, but they do not always make it easy. Our Cape Coral workers' compensation attorneys make sure your claim is filed the right way and that you get all the support the law provides.

Important Deadlines You Should Know About

Florida law gives you 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to benefits.

After that, you have two years to officially file a claim. This is called a Petition for Benefits.

The sooner you speak to a lawyer, the better. Our Cape Coral workers' compensation lawyers will collect evidence, speak with witnesses, and make sure everything is done correctly and on time.

What Benefits Can You Get?

Workers' compensation may cover a range of needs, depending on your injury. These include:

  • Medical care: Doctor visits, hospital stays, medication, physical therapy, and equipment
  • Wage loss payments: Compensation payment if you miss work or cannot return to your job because of your work restrictions
  • Mileage reimbursement: Travel costs for medical appointments
  • Job training or placement: Help finding work if you cannot return to your old position

We work to secure every possible benefit for you from the insurance company and make sure it is all provided correctly. Our Cape Coral workers' compensation lawyers will fight for the full amount you are owed in compensation and medical benefits.

Common Workplace Injuries in Cape Coral

Cape Coral has a wide range of jobs—construction, retail, restaurants, and office work. We regularly help people with injuries like:

  • Back or neck pain from lifting heavy items
  • Knee or leg injuries from slips and falls
  • Carpal tunnel or other repetitive-use injuries
  • Electric shock or burns from jobsite hazards
  • Breathing problems from dust or chemicals

Each of these injuries requires different proof of causation and medical support. The best Cape Coral workers' compensation lawyers understand how to build a strong case based on your specific situation.

How a Cape Coral Workers' Compensation Lawyer Helps Your Claim

Insurance companies do not always look out for you. They may try to:

  • Delay or deny medical treatment
  • Pay less than you deserve
  • Push you to return to work too soon
  • Use doctors who minimize your injuries

We know the tactics they use—and we know how to push back. Our Cape Coral workers' compensation lawyers will:

  • File your claim correctly
  • Gather medical records and work reports
  • Demand correct payments for missed work and medical needs
  • Fight denials and delays through litigation and formal hearings

We also help you avoid future problems that can develop. For example, we review permanent disability ratings, protect your Social Security eligibility, and make sure that your future compensation and medical needs are taken into account.

Frequently Asked QuestionsCan I lose my job for filing a workers' compensation claim?

No. Florida law protects you from being fired just for filing a claim.

What if the insurance company refuses to pay for treatment?

We can request a hearing and take your case to a Judge of Compensation Claims if needed.

Can I see my own doctor?

The insurance company picks your first doctor, but you have the right to ask for a one-time change paid for by the insurance company. We can help with that request.

Carolyn Frank and her firm represented me on a workers compensation injury case, under the defense base act. She did a excellent job from the moment I contacted her until 3 years later the case was settled. Every benefit I was entitled too, Carolyn fought hard to secure. E-mails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Definitely 5 star rating. Daniel

I can't express how grateful I am for Elizabeth Estrada, attorney, and Elizabeth Cantin, secretary, for all the hard work in order to defend me in my time of need. My lawyer and secretary spent time explaining each step and what was to be expected. Because of this I felt a part of the whole process and understood what was going on. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
