Every year, Florida’s workers’ compensation system handles hundreds of thousands of claims, with over 715,000 in 2022–2023 alone, and millions of medical bills are tied to work-related injuries. After any work accident, you have to deal with pain and also face an impossible choice: pay for medical care or rent/mortgage/groceries, etc.? While you’re hurting and unable to work, the insurance company is focused on its bottom line. At Van Dingenen Law, we see what you’re up against, and we fight back. A Deltona workers’ compensation lawyer at our firm will dedicate all their time and efforts to secure the wage benefits, medical care, and respect you deserve. Because workers’ comp is all we do.

We review your injury, explain your rights under Florida law, and tell you honestly where your claim stands.

Challenge Denials Before the Judge

When the carrier denies you, we file your Petition for Benefits and take your case before the Judge of Compensation Claims.

We push back on lowball impairment ratings and premature findings that you've healed, so your settlement reflects your real losses.

I fractured my foot at work and was denied Workman’s Comp completely. They did not cover any costs at all. I contacted Van Dingenen Law and they were able to see me the very next day. I met with attorney Blaze Schwartz who read the documents and told me not to worry that I had a strong case and he would help. Thanks to Blaze I was compensated for worked missed and all out of pocket medical. I truly would recommend this firm to anyone in need of representation. Again thank you Blaze and your entire team at Van Dingenen Law.

After 20+yrs I lost my job because of an injury, I first contacted a large law firm and was told that they could not do anything for me even though they advertise as being the largest of all. I then contacted Van Dingenen law who took up my case with the same scenario and got me a substantial settlement. I guess largest does not equate to being the Best. From beginning to the end it was a smooth no hassle process all in a much sooner time than I anticipated. Words can’t express my gratitude and appreciation for the outcome, meeting Mr. Van Dingenen himself was such a pleasant and reassuring moment that I knew then if anybody could it would be him. I never give anyone a rating as this, but hands down they are well deserving of this. Thanks, and God Bless. You are the Best.

I was injured at work and was referred to this law firm by a friend. I’m so glad I contacted them. Van Dingenen and his staff could not have been more helpful and I am very grateful for them helping me through the stressful work compensation process. They were able to beat the insurance company and help me win my case. I was not even sure I had a case until they assured me they could help. All the staff were professional and nice. Very good experience overall.

I made an appointment after I felt like my best medical issues were not being attended to…I felt like I was not being heard. I was extremely impressed on the first visit. Immediately they became my voice and very quickly I could see the difference in how things were happening. The communication was always there and they always got back to me. Mr Van Dingenen always worked personally with me at each meeting and in the end I was more than satisfied with my outcome . If you have questions or concerns I would HIGHLY recommend Van Dingenen Law to anyone who has issues with workers comp.

I was not aware that I was entitled to compensation for my work related injury but after consulting with the VanDingenen Law Firm I was able to collect compensation for my injury and it was very quick and easy and they handled everything.

Although we had some communication issues at the beginning, which turn out to be a misunderstanding between both myself and the office, the issue was rectified quickly and things got back on track. I was a little hesitant to hire a lawyer but the reputation Van Dingenen has, and even though our little hiccup, everyone made me feel like part of the family, if I ever had any confusion or needed things explained Donald himself would call me and straighten things out.. Even in these uncertain times my team was right there when I had questions, and they were on top of the other party to make sure everything was done that needed to be and in a timely manner. If I was to ever need a workers comp lawyer I would gladly call Van Dingenen Law again and again. From the consultation to close, my team made everything smooth and I greatly appreciate it. Donald, Blaze and the great team at V.D. Law, thank you again for helping me and my family get through this rough time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Besides pain and a stack of medical bills, a work injury leaves you with many urgent questions. “How do I pay for a doctor?” “Can I still get a paycheck?” “What happens if my claim is denied?” Florida’s workers’ compensation system can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Here are the most frequently asked questions about Deltona workers’ compensation claims, with clear, direct answers from our lawyers.

How much does a workers' comp lawyer charge in Deltona?

In Florida, workers’ compensation lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they successfully secure benefits or a settlement for you. The fees are a percentage of your recovery and are capped by a state-regulated fee schedule. In other words, you pay no upfront costs to hire a Deltona workers’ compensation lawyer at our firm. The system ensures that you can get legal help without worrying about hourly fees, and your attorney is motivated to get the best possible outcome for you.

How long does it take to settle a workers' comp case in Deltona?

The time it takes to settle varies widely, from a few months to more than a year. The timeline is influenced by the severity of your injury, how quickly you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI), and whether the insurance company disputes the claim. Cases with more serious injuries or complex disagreements about medical care often take longer, as they require more documentation and negotiation. Your workers’ comp attorney at Van Dingenen Law will keep you informed on your case’s timetable at every step.

What is the 120-day rule for workers' compensation in Florida?

The 120-day rule in Florida refers to the period during which a workers’ compensation insurance carrier can investigate and deny a claim after first providing benefits. If the insurance company starts paying for a benefit, such as an initial doctor’s visit, and does not deny the claim within 120 days of the first payment, it generally loses the right to deny the claim later. This rule is designed to ensure timely claim decisions.

How much time do I have to file a workers' comp claim in Deltona?

According to Florida law, there are several key deadlines to consider. First, you must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the accident or within 30 days of when you become aware of an injury or illness. Second, your employer has 7 days to report your injury, starting with the date you reported it to them. Third, you have up to two years from the date of the injury to file a formal Petition for Benefits with the state. Missing these deadlines can result in the loss of your right to compensation, so it’s best to contact a Deltona workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible after your workplace injury.

What are the most common reasons for workers’ compensation claim denials in Deltona?

Workers’ compensation claims are often denied for several reasons. The most common issues include a lack of clear evidence that the injury is work-related, discrepancies in the claimant’s account, or failure to meet critical deadlines for reporting the injury to an employer. Claims may also be denied if the insurance company attributes the injury to a pre-existing condition or if the employee was not following safety protocols. Our Deltona workers’ compensation lawyers can help you challenge a denial by gathering crucial evidence and building a robust case.

Can my employer terminate me while on workers' comp in Deltona?

Yes, under Florida’s at-will employment law, an employer can legally terminate an employee while they are on workers’ compensation. However, it is illegal for an employer to fire you because you filed a claim or exercised your right to seek benefits. If your termination appears to be retaliation for your claim, you may have grounds for a separate lawsuit for wrongful termination. Your workers’ comp benefits for medical care and lost wages should continue even if you are terminated. Our Deltona workers’ compensation lawyers can help you understand your rights and fight for the benefits you are owed, even in the face of termination.
