Vigorous Representation for the Injured Worker

When a worker suffers a work-related injury, the worker is entitled to compensation under the state workers' compensation law.  To recover, it is not necessary to prove that the employer was at fault and in fact the worker can even recover if he or she was at fault.  Attorney Sanga Turnbull and the legal team represents clients in the Lakeland area to properly prepare their workers' compensation claims and then represent them at worker compensation hearings to achieve full compensation.  We are three veteran attorneys with a combined 50 years of legal experience.  We urge you to contact a personal injury lawyer in Lakeland for assistance with your claim.

Workers' Compensation Benefits

An injured worker is entitled to medical benefits as well as a stipend for monthly living expenses based on a percentage of what the worker was earning.  If the worker sustained partial or total permanent injury, he or she is also entitled to lump sum compensation. 

Personal Injury Compensation

In addition to assisting the client obtain their workers' compensation benefits, we help the client obtain compensation in a personal injury suit where we can identify a third party other than the employer to hold responsible for the damages. This could be against the manufacturer of a defective piece of equipment the worker was using.  It could be against another subcontractor on a worksite.  The advantage of a personal injury action is that the worker can obtain pain and suffering compensation plus full loss of income.
