Occupational Illnesses
A workers’ compensation claim can also be filed if you’ve developed an occupational disease. These are illnesses directly caused by your job and workplace. Many times these illnesses are a result of exposure to a harmful substance. Others develop after performing repetitive motions for long periods of time. To qualify for workers’ compensation benefits, the illness must be proven by a doctor or through medical testing. Some common examples of occupational illnesses include:
- Respiratory Diseases such as Mesothelioma or Tuberculosis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Skin Cancer
- Lead Poisoning
- Neurological Disorders
Many occupational illnesses can lead to permanent disabilities that prevent you from being able to continue the line of work you were in. If this has happened to you, it’s important you hire a workers’ compensation attorney to help prove your illness was caused by conditions in your workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’ve been injured on the job, there are several important steps you need to take right away. Failing to take these steps can impact your chances of receiving workers’ compensation benefits. Seeking medical treatment should always be your first step. If your injuries are severe, get to the hospital right away. Then, make sure you report the injury to your employer within 30 days of the accident. If you don’t, you may not be able to receive workers’ compensation benefits. Once your employer files a claim, you’ll need to get follow-up medical treatment from a doctor authorized by the insurance company. If your employer fails to file a claim or your claim is denied, contact us for professional legal assistance.
In most cases, you cannot sue your employer for a workplace injury because of workers’ compensation laws. However, there may be some exceptions, such as if your employer intentionally caused your injury or failed to provide adequate safety measures.
No, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate or discriminate against an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you believe you have been fired or discriminated against for filing a claim, you may have legal options.
Workers’ compensation covers a wide range of injuries and illnesses that occur as a result of work-related activities. This can include injuries from accidents, repetitive stress injuries, and occupational diseases.
The time limit for filing a workers’ compensation claim varies by state. In Florida, you generally have 30 days from the date of the injury to report the injury to your employer and two years from the date of the injury to file a workers’ compensation claim. However, there may be exceptions to these time limits.
