Workers’ Compensation Benefits
State laws govern the distribution of workers’ compensation benefits to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses during the course of performing job-related duties. In Florida, benefits are calculated according to the nature of a workers injury or illness, particularly if the injury results in partial, temporary, or permanent damages. Your workers’ compensation benefits may include:
• Lost wages
• Hospitalization &
doctor’s visits
• Medical tests
• Mileage reimbursement
• Physical therapy
• Preferred workers program
• Prescription medications
• Prostheses
• Reemployment services
Helpful Hints
• Do not delay in reporting your injury or illness to your supervisor.
• If your accident results in emergency treatment, tell the emergency room you hurt yourself on the job.
• The insurance carrier must authorize the doctor who is to treat you.
• If your employer or insurance carrier does not respond to your request for medical treatment, contact the
Employee Assistance and Ombudsman Office for assistance at (800) 342-1741 or at wceao@myfloridacfo.com.
