Well, it figures. Leave it to litigation attorney's to know how to pleade their case to the Florida Supreme court. I know for a fact that insurers are petitioning against the recent rate filings and to increase the Workers Compensation rates in Florida for 2009. If you sell insurance you have one thing to look forward to: increased rates and increased premiums. That is, if you can look past companies going out of business because they can't afford their insurance costs.

Could you imagine how many Florida Businesses would be out of business if this ruling past 1 year ago? No doubt, many will be having a turn for the worst next year and an increase in Workers Compensation rates will not help.

Florida just took a turn for the worst.
