Why Do Injured Workers in Ormond Beach Need a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

A workplace injury can create a heavy financial burden, particularly when medical bills and daily expenses continue without a steady income. In Ormond Beach, many workers face this pressure as they balance urgent healthcare needs with the demands of everyday life. Insurance companies often intensify the stress by delaying or disputing claims. Van Dingenen Law is here to ease that burden. Our Ormond Beach workers’ compensation attorneys focus exclusively on this area of law, working relentlessly to ensure you receive the treatment, wage benefits, and financial support needed for a successful recovery.

Blaze Schwartz

Working exclusively in workers' compensation since 2003 means our law firm understands all the nuances. We know the judges, the defense attorneys, the doctors, and all the experts; we just know the players. This helps us develop a much better strategy than attorneys who just dabble in workers' comp, which is an entirely different area of law than personal injury.

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.

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.

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.

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

Workers in Ormond Beach, Volusia County, often feel uncertain when medical treatment begins, forms start arriving, and the insurance company gets involved. Below, our workers’ compensation attorneys answer common questions and address concerns that many employees have faced over the years.

What should I do if my wage benefits are unexpectedly halted?

An abrupt stoppage can happen when the insurer questions medical updates or misinterprets paperwork. Your Ormond Beach workers’ compensation lawyers can clarify the situation, submit the necessary documents, and fight to reinstate your benefits if the stoppage is unwarranted.

Can I get a second opinion if my pain persists after treatment?

Florida law permits injured workers to request a change in their authorized physician under specific conditions. Your Ormond Beach workers’ compensation attorney can assess your medical records and help you request a new provider if your ongoing symptoms require a different perspective.

Am I eligible for benefits if my injury causes me to lose hours instead of preventing me from working altogether?

If you experience reduced hours, this may still lead to partial income loss. Your Ormond Beach workers’ compensation attorney can help calculate the difference between your normal wages and reduced earnings, pursuing benefits to cover the financial gap.

What if my employer claims my injury happened outside of work?

Disagreements about where the injury occurred can delay your claim, but they don’t necessarily determine its outcome. Your Ormond Beach workers’ compensation lawyers can gather medical records, workplace evidence, and witness testimony to establish that the injury happened while performing work duties.
