Our firm handles legal matters in the following
practice areas:
 
   - Social Security Disability
   - Workers' Compensation

Joseph M. Rooth is board certified in the area of Workers' Compensation. This is a designation that is held by less than one percent of the lawyers in Florida.

Our firm only represents injured workers and never the insurance company.

Although our firm is limited to representing only injured workers in Workers' Compensation cases and persons claiming Social Security Disability, we work frequently with Tampa Bay attorneys that handle all matters of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents and medical malpractice. If you need any assistance in any of these areas, you can contact us and we will assist you in obtaining qualified legal representation.
