I just got back in town from the Florida Workers' Compensation Educational Conference. There was a lot of discussion about recent legislative "fix" to the October 2008 Emma Murray decision. For those of you not familiar with what is going on in workers' compensation law, you can read my prior posts regarding this subject.
Bottom line of all is that most in the industry believe the current law, as it is currently written, is unconstitutional. It severely limits an injured workers access to courts as a result of unreasonable attorney's fees.
Fortunately, the consensus is that it should not take nearly as long as the five years it took us to get the Emma Murray decision to reach the Florida Supreme Court again.
