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.

US NIH director says hopeful will settle with universities over suspended grants
WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) - National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya told a U.S. Senate panel on Tuesday he was hopeful that President Donald Trump's administration would reach a settlement with universities that have had research grants suspended. "I'm very hopeful that a resolution being made with the universities where those decisions have been made, where those grants have been paused," Bhattacharya said while appearing at a hearing of the Senate Appropriation Committee's Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies on the NIH's 2026 budget request. The NIH has terminated 2,100 research grants totaling about $9.5 billion and an additional $2.6 billion in contracts since Trump took office Jan. 20, dozens of scientists, researchers and other employees at the agency said in a public letter. The contracts often support research, from covering equipment to nursing staff working on clinical trials.

Boeing books 303 new orders and hits 737 MAX production target in blockbuster May
SEATTLE, June 10 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab is heading into the Paris Air Show after a blockbuster May that included booking 303 new orders and rolling out 38 new 737 MAX jets, a production rate that it has been working to reach for more than a year. The company also delivered 45 aircraft last month, it said Tuesday. It was the sixth-highest monthly order tally in Boeing's history, according to company data. The orders included the largest widebody jet deal in Boeing's history: Qatar Airways' order for 130 787s and 30 777Xs, plus options for another 50 of the long-haul aircraft. However, only 120 787s were added to Boeing's order backlog, according to the company. It did not clarify the discrepancy. The Qatar deal was announced during President Donald Trump's whirlwind Middle East tour, which included a string of high-profile business deals. One day earlier, Saudi Arabian-owned lessor AviLease ordered 20 737-8 MAX jets. Another Gulf region carrier, Etihad, said it planned to order 28 widebody Boeing jets, but it did not place a firm order, so the aircraft were not included in May's total. Canadian airline WestJet also ordered seven 737 MAX jets. The company also canceled two orders for 737s. In total, three orders were canceled during the month, making for 300 net new orders in May. Its order backlog rose to 5,943 orders as of May 31. Boeing delivered 45 aircraft in the month, its fifth consecutive month of 40 or more deliveries. The total was nearly twice as many deliveries as the 24 aircraft the company handed over to customers during the same month one year earlier. Aircraft deliveries are closely watched by Wall Street because planemakers are able to collect the majority of their payment when they hand over jets to customers. The company handed over 31 737 MAX jets, including seven to United Airlines and four to Alaska Airlines, and seven 787s, including three to Qatar Airways from earlier orders. It also delivered five 777 freighters, one 767 freighter and one 737 NG to be converted into a P-8 Poseidon for the U.S. Navy. None of the deliveries were to Chinese airlines, which stopped taking new Boeing aircraft in April as the two countries clashed over tariffs. China removed the ban after the Washington and Beijing agreed to temporarily cut tariffs. A new 737 MAX landed in China on Monday, according to flight tracking data, the first to arrive since the ban was removed. So far in 2025, Boeing has delivered 220 aircraft: 164 737 MAXes, three 737 NGs for conversion into P-8s, 28 787s, 16 777s and nine 767s. European rival Airbus ( opens new tab has delivered 243 aircraft so far this year, including 51 deliveries in May. The company did not announce any new orders last month. However, Airbus is expected to announce several deals during the Paris Air Show, which starts Monday. Boeing said on Tuesday that it rolled out 38 new 737 MAX aircraft in May, hitting a production target that it has been working to reach for more than a year. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration capped output at 38 airplanes a month due to quality concerns exposed by a mid-air panel blowout in a nearly new 737 in January 2024. Monthly production of its best-selling 737 MAX has varied up and down in recent years as the company grappled with internal and external production problems and constraints. A strike last year at its plants in Washington and Oregon shut down production of the popular single-aisle airplane. Since production resumed in December, the company has taken a slow and deliberate approach to increasing the rate. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has said the company has to stabilize production at 38 per month for several months before asking the FAA to increase output. All six production quality and safety metrics created by the company and U.S. regulators are green, according to the company.
