“It’s a shame the opponents to workers’ compensation reform continue to rely on the same tired old arguments of ‘blame the lawyers,’ rather than working on meaningful solutions that will help Florida’s businesses and workers. The insurance industry has been using an improper, unjust process to line its pockets, and it’s time the workers’ comp system was fixed to benefit those who are truly supposed to benefit from it: Florida employers and the hard-working men and women who depend on them for their jobs. We look forward to continuing to work with the Legislature to enact meaningful, workable reforms.”
Richard Chait serves as Chair of the Workers’ Compensation Section of Florida Justice Association
