About Coye Law Firm — employment law Orlando Florida
The Coye Law Firm is an employment law Orlando practice that also serves injured workers, veterans, and Social Security claimants. Led by Wade Coye, the firm represents employees throughout Central Florida and beyond. Its work often centers on on-the-job injuries and the benefits that follow.
Because workplace injuries and disability claims overlap, the firm coordinates these issues for injured employees. You can find related help through the employment law directory. The firm offers free consultations and toll-free access for clients across Orange County. Its broad focus helps workers who face both lost wages and benefit denials.
What Clients Say
Clients describe the firm explaining precisely what the insurance adjuster is doing at each stage — why a particular medical record request is being made, what the adjuster’s timeline pressure looks like, and where the claim is most vulnerable. Workers who had felt bewildered by the claims process say that transparency changed how they engaged with it. Several also note the toll-free line specifically: being able to call back with a follow-up question without worrying about the meter running made them more likely to flag issues early, before those issues became problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ comp claim in Orlando?
Florida law bars retaliation against workers who file legitimate workers’ comp claims. If you are punished or fired for filing, you may have a separate claim. Keep records of any retaliation.
What does a work-injury consultation cost?
Workers’ comp and disability cases usually run on contingency, so there is no upfront fee. The firm offers a free first consultation. You pay only if benefits or a recovery come through.
Where are Orlando workers’ comp disputes decided?
Florida workers’ comp cases go before the Office of the Judges of Compensation Claims, which has an Orlando district office. These hearings differ from regular court. A lawyer guides you through that process.
