JEB rocks!

But I have a question maybe someone can clear up for me. In the above article this statement - ......,and improve benefits for injured workers.

I was injured twice while on the job. Here in Florida, Workman's Comp payed 100% of my medical bills and 100%+ of my income while injured. How do you improve that?

It sounds like you had a good workers' comp carrier who took care of you as part of their company policy to avoid litigation. That's a good thing. Work comp used to only pay 66 2/3 wages and medical benefits. If a wc accident kills a worker, their beneficiary used to get $100K, no questions asked.

Knowing how Jeb is, I bet he is going to improve retraining for people who can't return to their former occupation. Kids aren't the only Floridians who need to learn. Hope you're all better. FV

Florida Workers Comp is extremely unfriendly from the business perspective. It is one of the most expensive in the nation and discourages business from locating in Florida. That's the only thing I know of.
