Our union-member physicians focus on your full medical recovery, keeping your treatment on track throughout your claim.
Injured on the job in Florida? As a no-fault system, you may be entitled to benefits regardless of who caused your injury — but Florida’s strict reporting and filing deadlines make it easy to lose your claim if you miss a step. Doctors’ Council 22 provides expert medical care for Florida workers while our team helps you navigate the claims process from start to finish.
Florida’s workers’ compensation system has specific coverage rules and strict deadlines. Here’s what every injured worker should know:
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the accident, or within 30 days of when you knew or should have known it was work-related. Missing this deadline can result in denial of benefits.
Generally, you must file a Petition for Benefits within 2 years of your injury. This timeline can be affected by ongoing medical treatment or benefit payments, so it's important to stay in close contact with your treatment team about your claim status.
Generally, no — your employer or their workers' compensation insurance carrier has the right to select your authorized treating physician in Florida.
It depends on your industry. Non-construction employers with 4 or more employees, and construction employers with even 1 employee, are generally required to carry coverage in Florida.
