Thank you, John, for your kind words and for allowing Sternberg | Forsythe, P.A. to help you through your workers' compensation claim.

Navigating the workers' compensation process can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face it alone. Our team is committed to listening, answering your questions, and helping you pursue the benefits you deserve every step of the way.

Many workplace injuries are not caused by a single accident.

Repetitive motions like lifting, typing, reaching, or using tools day after day can lead to injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and chronic back or shoulder conditions.

If your job caused your injury over time, you may still have rights under Florida's workers' compensation system.

The answer is: It depends.

Whether you're covered often depends on where the injury happened and what you were doing at the time.

For example, injuries that occur while performing a work-related task during your break may be treated differently than injuries that happen while running a personal errand.

Every situation is unique, which is why it's important to understand the facts before assuming you don't have a claim.

Many Florida workers assume they aren't covered because they're only hired for the summer or a short-term job.

That's not necessarily true.

If you're injured while performing your job duties, temporary and seasonal employees may be eligible for Florida workers' compensation benefits, provided their employer is required to carry workers' compensation insurance.

Whether you work in hospitality, retail, landscaping, tourism, or another seasonal industry, don't assume your employment status prevents you from seeking benefits.

Before you sign anything, make sure you understand what you're agreeing to.

A lump sum settlement may seem appealing, but it can affect your future rights and medical benefits.

Before accepting an offer, consider:

✔ Future medical treatment you may need

✔ Your long-term ability to work

✔ The full value of your claim

✔ Whether the settlement truly protects your future

Once a settlement is finalized, you may not be able to seek additional workers' compensation benefits for that injury.

📦 Think workplace injuries are usually caused by major accidents?

Think again.

In North Carolina, more than 22,000 workplace injuries in a single year were caused by overexertion and bodily reactions.

That means injuries from things like:

✔ Lifting ✔ Pushing ✔ Pulling ✔ Carrying ✔ Repetitive movements ✔ Reaching overhead

Many workers don't realize a serious injury can happen while performing routine job duties they've done hundreds of times before.

Sometimes, it's not a dramatic accident that puts someone out of work.

It's one lift. One twist. One movement.
