Florida Attorney Secures $1.45 Million Workers' Compensation Decision, Highest Q4 2025 Payout in State
Workers' compensation attorney David Benn obtained a $1,450,000 decision for his client on December 15, 2025, representing the largest workers' compensation payout awarded in Florida during the fourth quarter of 2025, according to state compensation board records.
The decision was reached through Florida's workers' compensation administrative system, which processes thousands of injury claims annually for workers across the state. Workers' compensation cases in Florida are handled through the State Board of Workers' Compensation rather than traditional civil court proceedings.
"This outcome demonstrates that thorough case preparation and aggressive advocacy can achieve fair compensation for injured workers," said David Benn, Managing Partner at WorkInjuryRights.com. "Our client deserved full benefits under Florida law, and we ensured they received them."
The $1.45 million decision addresses the full scope of benefits available under Florida workers' compensation law, which can include medical treatment costs, wage replacement during recovery, permanent disability benefits, and vocational rehabilitation expenses. Florida law requires most employers with four or more employees to carry workers' compensation insurance.
Benn has practiced workers' compensation law exclusively since 2010, handling cases throughout Florida's judicial districts. Prior to representing injured workers, he worked as defense counsel for employers and insurance companies in workers' compensation claims. This background provides insight into the defense strategies insurance carriers commonly employ to minimize payouts or deny claims entirely.
His legal career began after graduating from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2002. He earned his Juris Doctorate from Rutgers University School of Law in 2005. While attending law school, Benn served as a judicial intern for the Honorable James T. Giles, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Following law school admission in 2006, Benn spent his early career representing insurance companies and employers before transitioning to claimant representation in 2010. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in 2016 and 2018 through 2020, a distinction limited to a small percentage of attorneys in each state.
Benn is a member of the Florida Bar and is proficient in Spanish, serving clients throughout South Florida, where he has resided since 2005. His practice focuses on securing medical benefits, wage replacement, and long-term disability support for workers injured on the job.
Workers' compensation claims in Florida often face challenges during the administrative process. Insurance carriers may dispute the severity of injuries, question whether injuries occurred at work, or attempt to reduce benefit amounts. Injured workers frequently encounter claim denials or delayed payments, making legal representation critical to securing appropriate benefits.
WorkInjuryRights.com™ was founded in 2014 by attorneys David Benn, William Haro, and Stacey Isaacs. The firm represents injured workers exclusively in workers' compensation claims and does not represent employers or insurance companies. The firm maintains offices in multiple Florida cities, including Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers, and Boca Raton.
The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, a common practice in workers' compensation law where attorneys receive payment only when cases result in awards or settlements for clients. This arrangement allows injured workers to obtain legal representation without upfront costs during a period when workplace injuries have often created financial hardship.
Florida's workers' compensation system processes tens of thousands of claims annually, with outcomes varying significantly based on injury severity, case documentation, and legal representation. The $1.45 million decision obtained by Benn represents the highest single payout awarded in the state during the final quarter of 2025.
