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 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 Oviedo, Seminole County, frequently have questions as their claims progress, especially when dealing with medical decisions, wage concerns, and insurance demands. The following information addresses common issues and provides guides to help you go through the process with confidence.

What should I do if my employer in Oviedo offers light duty while I recover?

If your employer offers light duty that aligns with your medical restrictions, your doctor may approve it. However, if the tasks go against your medical limitations or put you at risk, your workplace injury attorney can help assess the situation and communicate with the insurer or employer to protect your health and benefits.

Can the insurance company track my activities during my Oviedo claim?

Insurance companies may monitor social media, conduct surveillance, or track your activities to challenge your claimed limitations. A workers’ compensation lawyer can guide you on avoiding situations that may cause confusion about your injuries and ensure your actions align with your medical restrictions.

Does workers’ compensation cover travel expenses for medical appointments in Oviedo?

Florida law allows injured workers to be reimbursed for mileage related to approved medical care. Your workplace injury attorney can help document these trips, submit the required forms, and follow up with the insurer to ensure reimbursement is issued.

What should I do if my employer in Oviedo refuses to report my injury?

Some employers may delay or refuse to report your injury to the insurance carrier, which can impact your access to medical care and wage benefits. A workers’ compensation lawyer can help file the necessary paperwork with the state, contact the insurer directly, and take steps to ensure your right to prompt medical attention is protected.
