Farah & Farah
On this episode of Legal Live, Scott is joined by Florida personal injury attorneys Eddie and Chuck Farah, along with Melbourne workers’ compensation attorney Jason Robbins, to explain how workers’ compensation works in Florida, including what injuries are covered, how benefits are calculated, and what employees should know after an on-the-job injury.
They discuss:
• What qualifies as a workers’ compensation claim, including no-fault coverage and the importance of reporting an injury within 30 days
• How wages are calculated for workers’ compensation benefits, including earnings from the three months prior to the accident and concurrent employment
• When workers’ compensation applies, including work travel, driving for work, and other job-related activities
• Benefits available if you cannot return to work, including temporary benefits and permanent total disability
Plus, callers ask real-world legal questions about:
• Mortgage and estate issues after a spouse’s passing, including refinancing, mortgage terms, and trust considerations
• A timeshare dispute involving fees, refund delays, and whether small claims court applies based on the contract
• A totaled car accident with limited at-fault coverage, rental car concerns, and understanding collision coverage
• Whether returning to activities like driving during treatment can impact workers’ compensation benefits and wage replacement
