Miami, FL asked in Workers' Compensation for Florida

Q: Workers compensation contract

I got ran over by a garbage truck while working. I was rushed to the hospital and had to stay for one night. I don't remember signing workers compensation contract. If I was drugged up at the hospital and a workers compensation agent comes in and had me sign their papers, do that counts? Am I able to get out of their contracts?

A: OK you may have a third-party case as well as a work comp case. The work comp contract that you signed could be voidable depending on the unique circumstances. You should consult in a private phone conversation with counsel here in Florida about possible contingency fee representation on both matters.
