CrashAidCourse and scope
Chapter 440 generally covers an injury that happens in the course and scope of employment. Tell the employer and get medical care through the process the employer or the carrier describes. This page is not a deadline calculator. People often discuss telling the employer within 30 days under section 440.185, and a petition within two years under section 440.19, both with exceptions.
Choose Workers' Compensation in the form. Add the employer name, the date, and whether you already reported the injury. CrashAid does not file the claim for you.
The employer and someone else
Section 440.11 is often described as the exclusive remedy against the employer, with limited exceptions. A claim against someone who is not the employer, such as another driver or a property owner, can be a separate matter.
If a truck or a rideshare car was involved, say so. Those pages explain auto claims. They do not replace chapter 440. Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers, and Lakeland are linked as places people work. This page does not rank job sites.
Questions
I was hurt at work. Which form option do I use?
Choose Workers' Compensation. Add whether a vehicle or another company was involved. That detail decides whether a third-party claim might sit beside the chapter 440 claim.
Does chapter 440 use the same two-year lawsuit window as a car crash?
No. Chapter 440 has its own reporting and petition timing, often discussed as 30 days to the employer and two years to petition, with exceptions. The car-lawsuit article is about negligence cases. It is not a deadline calculator for a job injury.
Can CrashAid refer a workers' compensation request?
Yes. You can submit the form for free. CrashAid is not a law firm. A request does not mean a participating attorney will accept the case.
