Boyd & Jenerette provides aggressive yet practical workers’ compensation representation throughout Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. The firm’s five workers’ compensation attorneys, supported by paralegals and legal assistants, are all committed to providing prompt and responsive client communication.
Claims prevention, compliance, and litigation avoidance are priorities within the Boyd & Jenerette workers’ compensation practice. Attorneys assist clients in matters involving the Jones Act, the Defense Base Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, Medicare Set Aside allocation reviews, and Special Disability Trust Fund claims.
The firm also represents employers and insurance carriers in coverage compliance investigations, fraud examinations, medical reviews, lien resolution, and unemployment claims.
