Tampa Workplace Accident Lawyer

Every day, hardworking people across Tampa face risks while performing their jobs. Whether it’s a fall on a construction site, a machinery malfunction, or an unsafe office environment, workplace accidents can cause serious injuries and financial hardship. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa workplace accident lawyer represents employees who have been injured on the job due to unsafe conditions or employer negligence. We help you pursue the compensation you need to recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

Understanding Workplace Accidents

A workplace accident can happen in any industry—from construction and manufacturing to retail and hospitality. In Florida, injured workers may be entitled to benefits through workers’ compensation, but sometimes these benefits are not enough. When negligence by a third party or employer leads to a preventable injury, you may also have the right to file a personal injury claim for additional damages.

Spencer Morgan Law understands how complex workplace accident claims can be. We handle both workers’ compensation coordination and personal injury cases to ensure you receive the maximum recovery available under the law.

Common Causes of Workplace Accidents

• Falls from heights or ladders
• Slippery floors or uneven walkways
• Falling objects or collapsing structures
• Defective machinery or tools
• Electrical hazards or fires
• Repetitive strain or overexertion
• Vehicle or forklift accidents

Our team investigates every detail of your accident to determine what caused it and who may be legally responsible.

Common Workplace Injuries

Workplace accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which require months or even years of recovery. Common injuries include:

• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Head and brain trauma
• Burns or electrical shocks
• Torn ligaments and soft tissue injuries
• Amputations or crush injuries

Spencer Morgan Law works closely with medical professionals to document your injuries and ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your pain and losses.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Accident

1. Report the injury to your employer immediately.
2. Seek prompt medical treatment, even for minor symptoms.
3. Document the scene with photos and witness statements.
4. Keep copies of medical records and employer reports.
5. Do not sign any documents or accept settlements without legal advice.
6. File your workers’ compensation claim as soon as possible.
7. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to evaluate your case and explore additional claims.

What Compensation May Be Available

Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs
• Lost income and reduced future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or impairment
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

We evaluate every possible claim to ensure no opportunity for compensation is overlooked.

Proving Negligence in Workplace Accidents

While workers’ compensation covers most job-related injuries, you may also have a personal injury claim if a third party—such as a subcontractor, manufacturer, or property owner—was negligent. Spencer Morgan Law investigates to uncover all liable parties and build a strong case.

We review safety records, maintenance logs, and company policies to show how negligence or unsafe working conditions caused your injuries. Our goal is to ensure you are not left paying for an accident that could have been prevented.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?

Generally, workers’ compensation prevents lawsuits against employers, but you may have a separate claim against third parties whose negligence caused your injury.

What if my employer denies my workers’ compensation claim?

You have the right to appeal. We can help you challenge a denied claim and pursue full benefits.

What if unsafe working conditions caused my injury?

Employers are legally required to maintain safe workplaces. If they failed to meet that duty, they may be liable for your injuries.

How long do I have to file a workplace accident claim?

Workers’ compensation claims must typically be reported within 30 days, but personal injury claims must be filed within two years in Florida.

How much does it cost to hire Spencer Morgan Law?

There are no upfront costs. We only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
