Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Workers Compensation Attorney in Orlando. Board Certified Lawyers are the ONLY lawyers allowed to advertise themselves as experts in Workers Compensation. Work Injuries often involve complex questions about Law and Medical opinions that require an EXPERT to properly handle. To become Board Certified, Charles Leo had to have 25 trials over his first 5 years of practice, remain a member in Good Standing with the Florida Bar and pass a very difficult specialized exam in Workers Compensation law.
• Wrongful Termination
  Injured workers are also usually required to execute a General Release which would preclude you from suing the Employer/Carrier for any possible disputes outside of workers’ compensation such as overtime disputes or wrongful termination. While these potential issues would not be part of your workers’ compensation claim, they often are required as part of your workers’ compensation claim. These potential requirements can often be a deal breaker for an injured worker if they are not ready to leave their job or wish to pursue other claims outside of worker’s compensation. However, there are rare situations where you may not be required to leave your job as part of a settlement agreement. When negotiating a potential settlement agreement, it is important that you understand all of the terms and conditions of any offer to see if the settlement makes sense or not. Therefore, if you are possibly interested in the settlement but not willing to leave your employment, you will want your attorney to find out if this is a requirement to any settlement agreement.

Property Law

• Property Damage
  Not every motor vehicle that travels on Florida roads is required to have PIP insurance coverage.  For instance, the No-Fault Law contains several vehicle “exclusions”, such as a taxi cabs, school buses, any type of public transit bus, or motorcycles or motor scooters.  Those vehicles are not required to have PIP coverage under their insurance policies. And, with respect to motorcycles or motor scooters, no insurance company will even write a policy on them that includes PIP coverage.  However, with the exception of those specific types of vehicles and perhaps a few others, every other “motor vehicle” licensed within the State of Florida must have a motor vehicle insurance policy that includes $10,000.00 in PIP coverage and $10,000.00 in property damage liability coverage. This does Not mean that every vehicle driven on Florida roads actually contains these coverages, or any coverage for that matter. This is why we strongly suggest that you obtain Uninsured Motorist (UM), Bodily Injury and Collision and Comprehensive coverages within your own auto insurance policy. You do Not want to have to rely upon the other driver/vehicle being properly insured in order to be able to be fairly compensated for any financial damages and/or injuries you sustain in a motor vehicle crash caused by another’s negligence. However, that is a topic for another day, or at least for another article on our website.
