Hurt at work in Venice? You deserve answers.
Injured at work in Venice? Whether your treatment is delayed, your checks have stopped, or your claim has been denied, Chase Injury Law helps injured workers understand their rights and what comes next.
Your injury affects more than your job.
A job-related injury can change your routine overnight. Suddenly there are medical appointments, restrictions, lost income, paperwork, and decisions being made by people you have never met.
Chase Injury Law represents injured workers in Venice and throughout Florida. We focus on the practical issues that matter to you: getting answers about medical care, knowing what wage benefits may be available, and challenging insurance decisions when necessary.
The people behind Venice's everyday work.
From the shops and restaurants on Venice Avenue to healthcare offices, residential construction, landscaping crews, delivery routes, and building maintenance, Venice depends on people whose work keeps the community moving.
Work injuries happen on Venice Island, east of US 41, near Jacaranda Boulevard, in South Venice, and across surrounding Sarasota County. Your occupation may be different from someone else's, but you still deserve an informed review of your workers' compensation rights.
When the claim gets complicated, the details matter.
These are some of the disputes that can leave an injured worker unsure of the next step.
My treatment isn't being approved.
Physical therapy, diagnostic testing, surgery, or a referral is pending and you cannot get a clear answer. We help address disputes involving authorized medical treatment and requested care.
My workers' comp checks changed.
When checks arrive late, decrease, or stop, the medical restrictions, wages, and stated reason for the change should be reviewed. A change in payments does not always mean the correct amount was paid.
I'm still hurting, but they're sending me back.
Returning to work on restrictions, a light-duty offer, or a finding of maximum medical improvement can raise real questions about benefits and medical care. The records and specific work offered matter.
The insurance company denied my claim.
A denial may involve causation, notice, preexisting conditions, or disputed treatment. It is important to examine the stated reason and the supporting records before deciding what to do next.

Preguntas que conviene plantearse desde el principio.
A work injury raises questions that are difficult to answer when you are waiting for care or wages. Here are a few useful starting points.
Can I call a lawyer even if my claim is accepted?
Yes. An accepted claim can still involve disagreements over treatment, restrictions, payment amounts, or timing. Whether legal representation is appropriate depends on the circumstances, and the initial consultation is free.
What if I work in Venice but live somewhere else?
That alone does not prevent you from asking about a Florida workers' compensation claim. Whether Florida law applies depends on the circumstances of your employment and injury, not just your mailing address.
What if an authorized doctor says I have reached MMI?
Maximum medical improvement can affect wage benefits and future medical decisions, but it does not automatically mean that every right to care disappears. The medical opinions, restrictions, and benefit history matter.
Do I have to travel to your office?
Many conversations, documents, and case steps can be handled by phone, video, email, and electronic signatures. Certain appointments or proceedings may still require in-person participation depending on the case.
How much is a consultation?
The initial consultation is free. Attorney's fees in Florida workers' compensation cases are subject to applicable law and the terms of a representation agreement. Chase Injury Law does not charge attorney's fees unless we recover benefits for you.
Venice, its neighbors, and beyond.
We represent injured workers statewide, including clients in and around Venice, Nokomis, Laurel, South Venice, North Port, and nearby communities in Sarasota and Charlotte counties.
