Injured in Lakeland
Lakeland works in distribution, warehousing, manufacturing, and healthcare. Publix is headquartered here with distribution and manufacturing operations, Amazon runs an air hub at Lakeland Linder International Airport and a fulfillment center near County Line Road, and Saddle Creek Logistics moves freight along I-4. Forklifts, loading docks, pallet racking, and repetitive lifting are the recurring hazards. Depending on how you were hurt, you may have a workers' compensation claim, a third-party lawsuit, or both.
How Florida law applies
Florida has specific rules on deadlines, shared fault, and insurance coverage that decide how much you can recover. We explain how they apply to your case, at no cost, in your language.
Full Florida workplace injuries guideLakeland questions
Where is my Lakeland injury case filed?
Injury lawsuits from accidents in Lakeland and the rest of Polk County are filed in the Tenth Judicial Circuit at the Polk County Courthouse in Bartow, the county seat. Most claims settle before a suit is ever filed, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried there.
I was hurt at work but worry about my immigration status. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. Florida workers' compensation and third-party injury claims do not depend on your immigration status, and your information stays protected. Depending on how you were hurt, you may have a workers' compensation claim, a lawsuit against a negligent third party, or both. You will always speak with a bilingual attorney.
Lakeland is the largest city in Polk County. Why would my case be filed in Bartow?
Bartow is the Polk County seat, so circuit civil cases, which is where injury lawsuits like these are heard, are filed at the Polk County Courthouse there rather than in Lakeland. Our office is in downtown Orlando, and we handle the filing, the insurers, and the court dates. Most clients never need to make the drive to Bartow themselves.
