Broward County Work Injuries

Broward does not have one kind of worker.

A work injury in Broward might happen while unloading cargo, caring for a patient, servicing an aircraft, repairing a yacht, working a hotel shift, delivering packages, stocking a store, building a high-rise, or driving across the county for work.

Port, Marine & Cruise Work

Port Everglades supports cargo operations, cruise activity, trucking, terminal work, marine services, maintenance, fuel operations, and businesses that depend on the port.

Dock • Vessel • Terminal • Marine

Airport & Aviation Jobs

Broward workers keep Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport moving, from baggage and ground operations to maintenance, transportation, concessions, security, and airline support.

Ramp • Baggage • Maintenance • Ground Ops

Healthcare Workers

Nurses, aides, technicians, therapists, transporters, environmental services employees, maintenance staff, and other healthcare workers face lifting injuries, falls, exposures, and repetitive work every day.

Hotels, Restaurants & Tourism

Broward’s hotels, restaurants, resorts, entertainment businesses, and tourism industry rely on workers doing demanding jobs on their feet, often moving quickly and lifting throughout the shift.

Hotels • Kitchens • Housekeeping • Service

Drivers, Warehouses & Delivery

I-95, I-595, State Road 7, Florida’s Turnpike, and Broward’s industrial corridors are filled with drivers, delivery workers, warehouse employees, loaders, and logistics crews.

Workers’ Comp Doctors in Broward County

Sometimes your workers’ comp case starts in an urgent care waiting room.

An injured worker may report an accident and then be told to go to an occupational medicine clinic. In Broward, employers and insurance carriers may use providers such as Concentra or MD Now for work injury treatment.

More serious injuries may first involve emergency treatment at facilities within Broward Health, Memorial Healthcare System, or another Broward County hospital.

The important part:

Going to a familiar clinic does not necessarily mean you can choose your own workers’ comp doctor. Except for emergency care and certain other situations under Florida law, workers’ compensation medical treatment generally needs to be authorized by the employer or insurance carrier.

Urgent Care + Occupational Medicine

MD Now

MD Now operates multiple Broward County locations and provides occupational medicine and on-the-job injury care.

Hospitals + Emergency Care

Broward Health

Broward Health facilities include Broward Health Medical Center, Broward Health North, Broward Health Imperial Point, and Broward Health Coral Springs.

Hospitals + Emergency Care

Memorial Healthcare System

Memorial facilities serve injured and ill patients across southern and western Broward County, including Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar.

These facilities are listed for general informational purposes only. Chase Injury Law is not affiliated with or recommending any particular medical provider.

Broward County Workers’ Comp FAQ

Questions injured workers ask.

Do I need a Broward County workers’ comp lawyer if my claim has already been accepted?

An accepted claim can still develop problems. Medical treatment can be delayed, referrals may not be authorized, wage checks can change, work restrictions can create disputes, and an injured worker can be placed at maximum medical improvement before feeling recovered. Speaking with an attorney can help you understand what is happening before a problem becomes more serious.

My employer sent me to Concentra or MD Now. Is that my workers’ comp doctor?

It may be the provider authorized for your initial treatment, but the answer depends on how your employer and workers’ compensation carrier have handled the claim. Florida workers’ compensation medical treatment generally must be authorized by the employer or carrier, except in emergency situations and certain other circumstances.

Can I choose my own workers’ comp doctor in Broward County?

Usually, the workers’ compensation carrier controls the authorized medical provider at the beginning of the claim. Florida law does provide certain rights involving medical care, including a one-time change of physician. The timing and wording of that request can matter.

What if I went to a Broward County emergency room immediately after the accident?

Emergency treatment is treated differently from routine authorized workers’ compensation care. Tell the medical provider that the injury happened at work and provide your employer or workers’ compensation insurance information when available.

Can Chase Injury Law represent me if I live in Broward but was hurt while working somewhere else in Florida?

Yes. Chase Injury Law represents injured workers throughout Florida. The location of your home and the location where your accident happened do not necessarily have to be the same.

How much does it cost to speak with Chase Injury Law?

The consultation is free. There are no attorney’s fees unless Chase Injury Law obtains benefits for you.
