Strategic defense counsel and experienced representation in workplace injury matters across South Florida.
Workers' compensation law is a central focus of Gregg R. Margre's practice. With decades of experience handling workplace injury claims, Mr. Margre provides strategic counsel to navigate the complexities of Florida's workers' compensation system. His expertise in this area is further demonstrated by his certification as a Continuing Education Lecturer for insurance adjusters by the State of Florida, where he instructs on the defensive handling of workers' compensation claims.
Whether dealing with disputed claims, benefit calculations, or employer defense, Mr. Margre brings a thorough understanding of the legal and procedural framework that governs these matters in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
Under Florida law, there are strict deadlines that apply to workers' compensation claims. Missing these deadlines can result in the permanent loss of your right to benefits.
Florida law requires that a workplace injury be reported to the employer within 30 days of the accident, or within 30 days of when the employee knew or should have known the injury was work-related. Failing to report within this window can jeopardize the claim.
The statute of limitations for filing a Petition for Benefits with the Judge of Compensation Claims is generally two years from the date of the accident, the date of last authorized medical treatment, or the date of last payment of compensation, whichever is later.
Because these deadlines are strictly enforced, prompt action is essential. Mr. Margre advises clients and employers alike on how to properly handle the reporting and filing process to protect their rights and interests under Florida's workers' compensation system.
