Employer Negligence FAQs

You shouldn’t be injured just for doing your job. If your employer ignored safety, here’s what you need to know.

  • What is considered employer negligence?

    Negligence happens when an employer fails to provide a reasonably safe work environment—by ignoring known hazards, failing to train employees, violating safety laws, or knowingly putting workers at risk. These failures can justify legal action.

  • Can I sue my employer for negligence?

    Generally, Florida’s workers’ comp system limits your ability to sue your employer directly. But there are exceptions—especially for gross negligence, intentional harm, or when third parties are involved. We’ll assess whether your case qualifies.

  • What if I reported safety issues before my injury?

    That strengthens your case. If you warned your employer about unsafe conditions and were ignored, it may show willful negligence. We’ll gather records, emails, and witness statements to support your claim.

  • How do I prove employer negligence?

    We collect incident reports, training records, OSHA complaints, and witness statements. We also work with experts to show how the injury could’ve been prevented with reasonable care or safety procedures.

  • Does negligence affect my workers’ comp benefits?

    Not directly—but it may open the door to additional claims beyond workers’ comp. We’ll help you pursue every legal avenue available, especially if your injury has life-changing consequences.

Still Have a Question?

If your workplace injury could’ve been avoided, you deserve more than just benefits—you deserve answers. Let’s talk.
