Although you may not be reimbursed for the time you spend at doctors' appointments and therapy sessions, you are entitled under Florida Statutes to be reimbursed for travel expenses to and from these appointments. Most insurance companies won't volunteer this benefit to you; however, under current law, you are currently entitled to be reimbursed at a rate of $.29 per mile in both workers' compensation and personal injury claims. It may not seem like a lot, but it really adds up!!! Contact Bernstein & Maryanoff, P.A. 1-800-429-4LAW (4529).
workers’ compensation benefits are paid to an injured worker after an injury. TTD benefits are paid after three days of disability and are paid until the injured worker has returned to the job or is medically capable of returning to substantially similar employment. The three days of lost benefits are payable only if the disability exceeds fourteen calendar days.
