Protecting The Rights Of Injured Delivery Drivers And Transportation Workers In Florida

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment. This system aims to protect workers and their livelihoods when they are hurt on the job, ensuring they receive necessary medical care and financial support during their recovery.

Transportation and delivery drivers face several unique risks that can lead to filing a necessary workers’ compensation claim.

• The nature of your work puts you at a higher risk of vehicle accidents. Whether navigating congested city streets or long stretches of highway, the probability of on-the-job car accidents is significantly increased.
• The repetitive nature of your tasks, such as loading and unloading cargo, can lead to repetitive stress injuries. You may also face exposure to hazardous materials, which can pose long-term health risks.
