Concerned Volusia County employee injury attorney, Allan Ziffra, with the Daytona Beach, FL workers’ compensation law firm of Rue & Ziffra informs Americans that workers’ compensation is a benefit available to nearly all employees in Florida who suffer an injury at the workplace or while on the job. Ziffra asserts the following steps need to be taken by all workers injured on the job:
-Immediately report any injury, no matter how minimal, to your direct supervisor
-Access medical care when the injury occurs
-Document your wages
-Document all of your injuries and any symptoms.
Assertive Central Florida construction accident litigator, Ziffra, is urging American workers to know their employee rights. Workers’ compensation law was established to safeguard employees who are injured on the job.
