Trench Collapse Accident
If you’ve suffered a trench collapse accident on a Florida construction site, you already know how quickly life can change. These injuries are rarely minor—they often require surgeries, long recoveries, or result in permanent disability.
Under Florida workers’ compensation law, you may be entitled to:
– Full coverage of medically necessary treatment
– Wage loss benefits (TTD, TPD, or PTD)
– Prosthetics, mobility aids, or home modifications if necessary
– Coordination with SSDI and Medicare for catastrophic injuries
Insurance companies often fight these claims—especially when the injury could mean hundreds of thousands in lifetime benefits. They may delay care, send you to biased doctors, or pressure you into a low settlement.
How to protect your case:
1. Report your injury right away.
2. Get care from an authorized workers’ comp doctor.
3. Keep copies of medical records and DWC-25 forms.
4. Avoid recorded statements without legal counsel.
5. Hire an attorney experienced in catastrophic construction injury cases.
