Just recently a legal challenge to the constitutionality of Florida workers compensation system that was thrown out by a state appeals court may be headed to the Florida Supreme Court.
In this case the plaintiffs would like the state’s high court to listen to their appeal of the state’s Third District Court of Appeals ruling that occurred on June 24th.
The ruling came in response to a 2014 judgement made by the Florida 11th Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto, who determined that the “exclusiveness of liability” provision of the workers compensation law in Florida is unconstitutional. It was Cueto who ruled that the benefits provided under the workers compensation law are inadequate to qualify as an exclusive remedy for injured workers.
