Upon my finding and reviewing the subject matter in this present article about an injured workers plight in Florida it serves to inform me that many more of these same types of work injury cases are clearly taking place in each and every corner across America. My question is; How can all these aberrant employers habitually continue to fail to provide their workforces with required workers compensation coverage and yet continue to not only get away but to also continue to operate their businesses in America by simply changing their names and/or moving their businesses to another state?

The simple answer has to be they only constitute a small portion of a much larger force of total corruption which this type-of-state-law serves to protect and to condone.

Failing to provide state-mandated work injury insurance to workers is a crime in America! Where are their arrest records! Where is their list of these employers who disparage Amercia's workers and then disgorge themselves of responsibility?

For the most part, they will all be small and medium-sized business owners attempting to raise their bottom line at the expense of others. And they will have attorneys advising them how to operate and to survive litigation and to prosper by committing repeated deceit and fraud.
