Bailout for Plaintiffs' Trial Lawyers
 Download a
PDF of the Florida Chamber's News Release.
The
National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI),
which proposes rates for insurers in Florida,
proposed an 18.6% increase in Florida workers’
compensation rates in response to the Florida
Supreme Court’s opinion in Murray v. Mariner
Health. The negative economic impact to Florida
employers is likely to be in the hundreds of
millions of dollars. This rate increase reflects
what the business community has said all along: the
Murray decision allows plaintiffs’ trial lawyers to
drive up their hourly fees through drawn out
litigation and frivolous claims.
