Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to report a work injury in Jacksonville?

Florida law requires you to report your injury within 30 days. Delaying can lead to denial of your claim. Report the accident to your employer or supervisor as soon as possible.

Can I choose my own doctor in a Jacksonville workers’ comp case?

In most cases, your employer’s insurance carrier will select an authorized treating physician. If it’s an emergency, go to the nearest hospital. For ongoing care, you must stick to authorized providers unless a change is approved.

What types of benefits can I get after a Jacksonville work accident?

You may qualify for medical care, wage loss benefits, impairment income benefits, and possibly permanent total disability benefits. Each case is unique, and Graves Law helps ensure nothing is left on the table.

Do I need a workers’ comp lawyer for a Jacksonville claim?

You’re not required to have a lawyer, but the system is complex. If your benefits are delayed, cut off early, or denied, an experienced Jacksonville work injury lawyer can make a significant difference.

What if I got hurt working at JAXPORT?

Port jobs can be hazardous. If you were injured loading ships, driving a forklift, or doing any maritime-related task at JAXPORT, you may qualify for Florida workers’ comp or potentially other federal protections. Contact Graves Law to learn more.

What if my employer won’t report my Jacksonville work injury?

You can file the report yourself or speak with a lawyer. Employers are legally required to report injuries, and failing to do so may be a violation of Florida workers’ comp laws
