Our Practice Areas
Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Sustaining a workplace injury can be physically and emotionally devastating. As an injured worker, you could be dealing with serious injuries, significant pain, lost wages, and emotional distress. As if that wasn’t enough to contend with, you face the overwhelming prospect of filing a workers’ compensation claim to pursue fair compensation and pay for your medical bills.
Personal Injury Protection
When the insurance company denies your benefits, Florida PIP Statute § 627.736 allows you to recover your services with no attorney fees or costs. You pay absolutely nothing. We have the experience and knowledge in navigating through the necessary steps to take when the insurance companies unjustly try to deny or reduce patients’ PIP benefits that are covered under Florida PIP laws.
Wrongful Termination
If you have been denied a promotion, been demoted or terminated from your employment based on your race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, you may have a valid claim under Title VII or Florida Statutes Chapter 760 wrongful termination.
Wage and Hour
Lyle B. Masnikoff and Associates, P.A. represents employees for claims against their employers, including wage and hour violations. Employees that are covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act are entitled to overtime compensation at one and one-half their regular hourly rate of pay.

Understanding Florida’s Workers’ Compensation Laws & Workers’ Compensation System
Workers’ compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. Florida’s workers’ compensation system is a no-fault system governed by a set of laws and regulations designed to protect employees and employers. You do not have to prove your employer was negligent to be eligible for benefits. If you’re injured on the job, you could potentially qualify for benefits such as medical treatment, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation.
However, exceptions to this rule exist. For example, if your own intentional misconduct caused your injury or if you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, your workers’ comp claim could be denied.
Florida's Workers' Compensation Laws
1
Coverage Requirement
Most businesses in Florida with four or more employees are mandated to provide workers’ compensation coverage. Construction industry employers must offer workers’ compensation coverage even if they have only one employee.
2
Compensation for Injuries
Per Chapter 440 of the Florida Statutes, employers must pay compensation or provide benefits if an employee suffers an accidental compensable injury or death while on the job.
3
Legal Framework
Workers’ compensation laws in Florida strive for fair compensation for employees for lost wages and medical expenses due to work-related injuries, establishing a mutual understanding between workers and employers.
Florida Workers' Compensation System
1
Enforcement and Compliance
The Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation enforces employer compliance with the coverage requirements of the workers’ compensation law.
2
Guidance and Assistance
The division provides assistance to injured workers, employers, healthcare providers, and insurers in adhering to Florida’s workers’ compensation rules and laws.
3
Mutual Agreement
The Florida workers’ compensation system fosters a mutual understanding between injured workers and their employers and seeks to facilitate the provision of necessary benefits and treatment for injured employees while safeguarding the interests of employers within the legal framework.
However, the process of filing workers’ comp claims correctly and meeting deadlines can create additional stress and confusion during a difficult time. Your workplace injuries have already caused physical pain and mental anguish – don’t risk your future and the future of your family by attempting to navigate the complexities of the workers’ compensation system alone.
