Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe work environment for their employees. Unfortunately, accidents are inevitable, especially if you work in the manufacturing, transportation, or construction industries. In addition to providing a safe work environment, most employers in the state of Florida are also responsible for carrying workers' compensation coverage for their employees.
However, sometimes a workers' compensation claim is denied when an employer disputes a workplace injury or illness. In other cases, a doctor appointed by an employer determines a worker is able to return to work even though their injuries make it hard to do so. If this has happened to you, the attorneys at Sternberg / Forsythe, P.A. can help in a number of ways.

My friend recommended I call the attorneys from Sternberg/Forsythe they helped him on a case he had I called them and they gave me a consultation over the phone and told me I had a case. Their customer service is great. The lady who then gave me the consultation was polite and knowledgeable and they sent over a representative very professional.

This company is awesome, they're there for you when you need them. I've been with them for the last 2 and a half years, and they have been nothing but the best. I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart for the blessings they have given to many people in our community. They were able to bless me with over 900 backpacks for the homeless community and also for a backpack giveaway for the children.
