Our Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay Area law firm is focused on personal injury and workers compensation cases. Our lawyers are dedicated to helping protect clients' rights and work to recover compensation for their accidents and serious injuries. Our personal injury attorneys also have vast knowledge and experience helping hundreds of clients receive millions of dollars in personal injury settlements here in Clearwater. We have the capability and skill to handle cases of all sizes and levels of complexity in all areas of personal injury and workers compensation.

The value of your claim is determined by statute and depends mainly on the kind of injury and the extent of any permanency. There are two ways that a workers' compensation claim can be settled. The first kind is a settlement agreement written on a form provided by the Industrial Commission and the other is what is commonly called a clincher agreement. The main difference between the two involves your right to future benefits because of a change of condition within two years after the last date you received a check. In the IC form, your right to possible future benefits is preserved. In the clincher agreement, this right is waived in exchange for an additional sum of money.

Settlement of a worker's compensation case can be complex especially if there are return to work issues. Before you sign anything, you should consult an attorney.

An initial discussion with us about your case is free of charge or obligation, and we only charge a fee if we're successful in recovering an award for you. We will not ask you to pay a retainer fee up front, because we recognize that most people cannot afford to do so. Our fees are based on a percentage of any recovery we make for you. This is called a contingent fee agreement.
