Bill, this issue is not about agent's commissions! This issue is about the cost of doing business for small business owners. As small businessowner's we are also consumers and there is no doubt that the reductions in work comp rates these past four years have helped.
The fact is the law did exactly what it was designed to do, cap excessive fees a component in helping to reduce Florida's high work comp rates. If agents are only worried about reduction in our commissions, then go into another business. Commissions will be earned as we write business, so work comp is lower, at least the consumer is getting a break, especially with all the other costs of doing business escalating out of control. It's about time work comp got under control. But these liberal courts and justices, who are also attorney's by trade see things another way and it stinks! A very poor decision by the courts and now they will throw work comp back into a tailspin. Seems that Greed wins again!
