Board Certified Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Tampa Bay attorney with the state’s highest distinction for competency and experience in workers’ compensation law

If you have been injured at work or on the job, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and damages. However, dealing with employers, insurance companies, and healthcare providers can be a daunting experience. These parties may try to limit your compensation or avoid paying at all to save their own money, but help from an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help you get the compensation you deserve. There are many workers’ compensation attorneys in Florida and the Tampa Bay area, but only a select few have been Board Certified by the Florida Bar for their exemplary experience and high level of competence in workers’ compensation law.

I’m attorney Joseph Rooth. As a Board Certified workers’ compensation attorney, I’ve helped the people of New Port Richey, Tampa Bay and throughout Florida who have been hurt at work receive their rightful benefits. If you or a loved one has been injured on the job, I offer a free consultation to help you determine your best course of action and answer all your questions.

What does it mean to be a Board Certified workers’ compensation attorney in Florida?

Board Certification is a process offered by the Florida Bar to serve as an objective measure that potential clients like you can refer to when selecting an attorney. Since there are so many lawyers making claims of expertise and effectiveness, Board Certification offers a trusted stamp of approval from the highest authority on attorneys in the state.

The Florida Bar’s certification program is considered among the best in the nation, and only a Board Certified attorney can refer to himself as an expert or specialist. When selecting an attorney to manage your workers’ compensation claim, you know you are selecting a highly-skilled specialist when you choose a Board Certified lawyer.

What are the qualifications for being a Board Certified workers’ compensation attorney in Florida?

Board Certification is not handed out lightly in Florida. There are a number of requirements that must be met in order to receive certification for workers’ compensation law, all of which New Port Richey attorney Joe Rooth has met. These requirements include:

• Substantial involvement specifically in workers’ compensation law
• At least 25 contested workers’ compensation cases handled

Only once these requirements have been met can an attorney claim to be board certified. As this process is so rigorous, attorney Joe Rooth is the only board certified workers’ compensation attorney in New Port Richey.
