Injured at Work in South Florida? Morales & Cerino, P.A. Can Assist

Any worker in any industry, from a typist who spends most of the day staring at a computer screen to a construction worker who operates an industrial crane, may experience a work-related injury. A slip and fall accident, equipment malfunction, lifting injuries at work, fire, or even the repetitive motion of one’s job duties can cause serious injuries that require medical treatment. These injuries may interfere with one’s ability to work or may leave a worker permanently disabled and unable to work at all.

Types of Work Injury Cases We Handle

No matter the cause of your work injury, you may be entitled to benefits regardless of fault. Even if it was your mistake that caused your injuries, you may still be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. And if a third party, someone other than a co-worker or your employer, was responsible, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit and pursue benefits not only for medical care and lost earnings but also for emotional distress.
