WorkInjuryRights.com Helps Florida Workers Navigate New Legal Reforms, Marking a New Era for Injured Employees
CORAL SPRINGS, FL, May 6, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- A wave of legislative reform is reshaping the dynamics of Florida's workers' compensation law, promising new opportunities and challenges for those looking to file a workplace injury lawsuit. As the state implements sweeping changes, WorkInjuryRights.com, a leading law firm in Florida, is stepping up to help workers and employers understand these changing laws with confidence and clarity.
A Transformative Moment for Workers' Compensation
For years, Florida's workers' compensation system has been in place for employees sustaining workplace injuries. It helps pay for lost wages, medical care, rehabilitation, and expenses incurred on managing disability. However, people have been complaining about:
New legal reforms have been introduced to address these issues, offering a fresh start for both workers and employers. Every WorkInjuryRights.com workers' compensation lawyer is committed to explaining these changes clearly, ensuring everyone understands how to move forward.
Senate Bill 362 and House Bill 433
Effective January 1, 2024, SB 362 has changed quite a few things for Florida workers' compensation medical reimbursement rates. Physicians are now be paid at 175% of Medicare rates (an increase from 110%), and surgical procedures are raised to 210% (an increase from 140%). Similarly, expert witness fees increased from $200 to $300 per hour.
While SB 362 concerns medical care, HB 433, which kicked in on July 1, 2024, is also shaking things up for worker protections all over Florida. In essence, it stops local governments from making their own rules about issues like heat safety, minimum wage, and scheduling mandates, putting everything under state control instead.
For businesses, this means they'll have the same set of employment rules everywhere, making things a bit easier to manage. But for workers, it means that things like safety and compensation will be figured based on state and federal laws, not by local rules anymore.
What This Means for Florida Workers
The combined impact of SB 363 and HB 433 is substantial. Injured workers can expect more access to medical treatment and the potential for reduced recovery times. Even with the shift to state regulation, workers still need to be aware of their rights and benefits available to them under the new system.
In Florida, workers' compensation benefits continue to be comprehensive, covering wage, medical costs, replacement, rehabilitation, and even death benefits where applicable. That said, the process of obtaining these benefits remains challenging for the average person—especially as employers and insurers adapt to the new regulatory framework.

RFK Jr announces new panel of vaccine advisers after firing entire previous team
Robert Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, named new members to serve on a key panel of vaccine advisers on Wednesday after abruptly firing all 17 sitting members of the independent panel of experts, according to a post on X. The eight new members of the advisory committee for immunization practices are: Joseph R Hibbeln, Martin Kulldorff, Retsef Levi, Robert W Malone, Cody Meissner, James Pagano, Vicky Pebsworth and Michael A Ross. 'All of these individuals are committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense,' Kennedy said in a post on X. The panel is part of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Kennedy said the new members are committed to demanding definitive safety and efficacy data before making any new vaccine recommendations. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, has alleged that the prior panel members, many of whom were appointed by former President Joe Biden, had conflicts of interest, without providing evidence of specific members' conflicts, and said the move was necessary 'to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science'. Numerous physician groups have expressed concern and suspicion over Kennedy's unprecedented removal of all the panel's prior members. The American Medical Association, the nation's largest physician group, has called for a Senate investigation into their dismissal, and sent Kennedy a letter calling for an immediate reversal of the changes.
