Miami-Dade County Work Injury Lawyers

Trusted Workplace Accident Attorneys in Miami-Dade County, FL Handle Work-Related Personal Injury Cases in Miami, Hialeah, Sweetwater, and Throughout Florida

When someone gets hurt, there is sometimes more than one person or thing to blame. For example, you might have hurt yourself in a workplace accident, for which you’d typically file a claim for workers’ compensation to get benefits, such as coverage for medical care and lost wages. In New Jersey, if you file a workers’ compensation claim against your employer, you can’t file any other claims for damages related to this work injury against your employer or other coworkers. But if someone else’s carelessness caused or contributed to your workplace accident, you may be able to file a third-party personal injury claim against that person or company. It can be hard to tell if your accident claim meets the requirements for workers’ compensation or for a personal injury lawsuit. Let Miami-Dade County work injury lawyers from Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A. examine the details and help you decide on the best course of action.

If you suffered a workplace accident due to a defective tool, a dangerous piece of equipment or machinery, or someone’s negligent or reckless actions, Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A. can help you collect fair compensation for your injuries through a third-party personal injury claim. We will work closely with you no matter what your immigration status is. We handle cases for full-time employees, part-time workers, and even those who do not have formal work authorization.
