Florida Willful Misconduct and Employers
Lawyer Defends Companies Against Willful Misconduct Charges
Employers are required to have workers' compensation insurance to cover
the costs of any accident injuries or fatalities that occur in the workplace.
Workers' compensation for work related incidents covers lost wages,
medical expenses and benefits for disability or death benefits to surviving
family members of a deceased worker. With workers' compensation insurance
in place, an employer is still required to provide a safe work environment
for employees.
Employers who are negligent, careless or reckless toward the safety of
their employees can face charges of willful misconduct. Employers should
contact a Florida employment defense lawyer and seek immediate legal assistance
if accused of willful misconduct. Cristal Law Group, Attorneys at Law
provides protection to municipalities, insurance companies, small businesses
and large corporations during all steps of legal proceedings involving
