Naples Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Protecting Injured Employees
If you were hurt on the job, you’re likely depending on workers’ compensation benefits to cover medical care and lost wages. Unfortunately, the system can be confusing—and insurance companies don’t always make it easy. HLH Law Group helps injured workers in Naples and Southwest Florida secure the benefits they deserve.
How Workers’ Compensation Works in Florida
Florida’s workers’ compensation system is designed to provide benefits to employees injured on the job, regardless of fault. Most employers are required to carry workers’ comp insurance.
If your claim is approved, benefits typically include:
- Payment for authorized medical treatment
- Partial wage replacement (generally about two-thirds of your average weekly wage)
- Temporary or permanent disability benefits
While the system is meant to protect workers, disputes and delays are common. That’s where legal guidance matters.
Common Workers’ Comp Problems We Handle
Claim denial
Delayed benefit payments
Disputes over whether the injury is work-related
Being sent back to work too early
Denied medical treatment or specialist referrals
Employer failing to report the injury
If your benefits are being denied, reduced, or cut off, we step in immediately to protect your rights.
Can You Choose Your Own Doctor in Florida?
In most workers’ comp cases, the insurance company selects the authorized treating physician. However, you may have the right to request a one-time change of doctor. If you feel pressured to return to work too soon or believe your care is inadequate, HLH Law Group can intervene and ensure your health is prioritized.

You have the right to challenge a denial. Our firm can file the necessary petitions, represent you in hearings, and pursue unpaid benefits and back pay. We know the tactics insurers use—such as claiming your injury was pre-existing or unrelated to work—and we know how to fight back effectively.

No Upfront Fees for Injured Workers
Workers’ compensation attorney fees in Florida are regulated, and in many cases fees are paid by the insurance carrier when benefits are secured. You will not face large upfront legal bills. Our goal is simple: make sure you receive every benefit you’re entitled to under the law.
Protect Your Rights From Day One
The workers’ comp process involves strict deadlines, paperwork, and procedural rules. A small mistake can delay or jeopardize your benefits. Having experienced legal guidance early can prevent costly problems later.
If you were injured at work, don’t wait for benefits to be cut off before seeking help.
