FJA Chair Statement in Response to Today’s Filing of Senate Bill 1582

Posted on March 3, 2017

Richard Chait, Chair of the Workers’ Compensation Section of the Florida Justice Association, issued the following statement in response to today’s filing of SB 1582:

“While our team is still carefully reviewing the legislation, early indications are that Senator Bradley’s bill which was filed earlier today is a step in the right direction for Florida’s workers and businesses. Our priorities continue to focus on ratemaking reform which provides for competition in the market and promotes transparency, some element of choice in medical treatment for injured workers, a meaningful post-MMI benefit for those who are unable to return to their former employment and the responsibility for insurance carriers to pay reasonable attorney’s fees when benefits are wrongfully denied.”

“As we anticipate that workers’ compensation will be a top priority this session, we look forward to working with the Legislature and the business community to enact meaningful reforms which will impact the well being of employers and those workers who have the misfortune of suffering work-related injuries.“
