Augment LeadsThis page is for workers' comp firms licensed in Florida. It covers how the Florida system is set up, what your intake team should screen for, and how our leads work. For what changes from state to state, see the workers' comp leads by state hub.
How workers' comp is run in Florida
Florida's system is overseen by the Division of Workers' Compensation in the Department of Financial Services. The Division's injured worker FAQs cover reporting and benefits, and its Employee Assistance Office helps injured workers with questions and disputes.
When benefits are disputed, the worker files a Petition for Benefits. The deadlines for notice and for petitions are set in Chapter 440 of the Florida Statutes.
What to screen for in Florida
Notice to the employer
Section 440.185, Florida Statutes, says a worker must advise the employer of the injury within 30 days after the date of the injury or its initial manifestation. Missing that bars a petition unless an exception applies, such as the employer already knowing about the injury. The same section requires the employer to report the injury to its insurance carrier within 7 days of learning about it.
Filing a Petition for Benefits
Under section 440.19, a Petition for Benefits must be filed within 2 years after the date the worker knew or should have known the injury arose out of work. Payment of benefits or authorized treatment can extend that period, as the section explains. The Division's FAQs describe the same general two-year period.
Doctor rules
The Division's workers' compensation system guide says the worker must ask the employer which doctor to see, and must see a doctor authorized by the employer or the insurance company.

Screening questions for Florida intake
- When did the injury happen, or when did symptoms first show? When did you tell your employer?
- Who did you tell, and how?
- Which doctor are you seeing, and did the employer or insurer authorize that doctor?
- Have you received any benefits or authorized treatment? When was the most recent?
- Have you filed a Petition for Benefits, or contacted the Employee Assistance Office?
- Have you talked to another lawyer about this injury?

What every Florida workers' comp lead includes
The injured worker fills in our form themselves. Each lead includes:
- Whether they were injured while working
- Employment status
- Injury date
- State and ZIP code
- Whether the injury was reported to the employer
- Medical treatment so far
- Injury details, in their own words
- Whether they already have an attorney
- An SMS-verified phone number
- A TrustedForm certificate
Leads that don't match your filters aren't sent. The TrustedForm certificate records the form session and the consent to be contacted, and the SMS check confirms the phone number. Our TrustedForm and lead verification guide explains how to read both.
How it works for Florida firms
- Book a strategy call. Tell us you're licensed in Florida, plus any other states, your intake hours and where leads should go.
- Set your Florida screening and place a first paid order. We agree your filters with you, using questions like the ones above.
- We run workers' comp campaigns nationwide. A lead reaches you only when the worker was hurt in a state you've chosen and the lead passes your filters.
- Leads go to your CRM by webhook, LeadDocket, Litify or GoHighLevel, or by email or SMS alert. We can route leads by office or case type.
We don't publish lead volume or ad figures for any single state. On the call, we'll be straight with you about what your filters can support before your first paid order. The full service is on our workers' comp leads page.
