We go through life intending to be healthy so we can live a long and fulfilling life; however, this is not always the case. Unfortunately, disease and illnesses strike individuals in Florida and elsewhere, drastically changing their lives as they know them. Not only does their life entail going to the doctor, having medical treatments and resting every chance they get, but it also often means being unable to work. A work-related illness or occupational disease could be the cause of a person’s long-term disability. This could make it difficult to meet the basic needs in life, especially if they are unable to work.
