Naples Workplace Injury Lawyers
Construction Accidents • Hospitality Worker Injuries • Third-Party Claims
When workplace injuries go beyond workers' compensation, our experienced attorneys fight for the full compensation you deserve in Naples, Fort Myers, and Southwest Florida.
Your Rights After a Southwest Florida Workplace Injury
Southwest Florida's booming construction industry and thriving hospitality sector create unique workplace injury risks. While workers' compensation provides basic coverage, many workplace accidents involve third parties whose negligence contributed to your injuries.
Our Naples workplace injury lawyers understand the complex employment landscape in Collier and Lee Counties. From major construction projects along the coast to the thousands of hotels, restaurants, and resorts that employ seasonal workers, we know how to identify all sources of compensation for your workplace injury.
When contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, or other parties bear responsibility for your workplace accident, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers' compensation benefits. These third-party claims can provide full compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, and future medical care.
Why Third-Party Claims Matter
- ✓Workers' comp limits compensation for pain and suffering
- ✓Third-party claims can provide full wage replacement
- ✓Additional compensation for permanent disability
- ✓Coverage for future medical expenses not covered by workers' comp
