Statement from Richard Chait, chair of Workers’ Compensation Section of the Florida Justice Association Regarding NCCI Workers Compensation Proposed Rate Reduction for Florida

TALLAHASSEE – “The NCCI proposal for a workers’ compensation rate reduction proves that workers who are denied benefits can find an attorney to represent them without harming the system, despite the industry’s crying wolf. However, there is still much work to be done to push for a choice of physicians for injured workers, and increased competition and transparency in the ratemaking process.”
