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, 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 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.

St. Thomas Aquinas boys' basketball clinches first trip to state in over two decades
The twenty-two year wait to play at the boys high school state basketball final four is finally over. Led by senior forward Dwayne Wimbley's 24 points, St. Thomas Aquinas overcame an early 15-point deficit to defeat Coral Springs 62-54 in the Region 4-6A final at home on Thursday. The Raiders (28-2) advance to the state tournament for the time since losing to Winter Haven in a semifinal game 50-49 in 2003. They haven't won a state championship since 2001. Aquinas will play in a state semifinal against Punta Gorda Charlotte on Thursday, Mar. 6 at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland. 'After the first quarter we told we have 24 minutes and there's was a lot of basketball left,' Aquinas coach Julius Sandi said. 'The guys stuck to the plan and listened. We've been in all types of games this season, and this was one of them. We never panicked. Wimbley was huge and it came at the right time to get us back in the game. This is amazing.' Wimbley led the first half rally for Aquinas after they trailed by 15 points at one point 17-2. Springs had opened the game on a 13-0 run. The Raiders defense got in order and the offense responded, as they outscored the Colts 23-9 in the second quarter as Wimbley scored 12 points, nine coming on a trio of 3-pointers. Aquinas went into the half with a 30-28 lead following a 3-pointer by Nate Accius at the buzzer. Wimbley, who scored 12 second quarter points, helped the Raiders fight back giving them their first lead at 27-26 on a three-point basket with 1:19 left in the second quarter. 'This is my last year, and I couldn't go out without a fight,' Wimbley said. 'I did everything I could to get my team back in the game. The school last own a state title in 2001 and its time to win another one.' The Raiders' largest lead was eight points at 37-29 in the third quarter. The Colts (18-10) found a way to stay within striking distance and closed to within 55-52 on a pair of free throws by freshman Jahmai Henry with 1:23 to play. They never got any closer. The Colts opened with a 13-0 run and led midway through the second quarter 26-13. At the end of the half, Aquinas went into the break with a 30-28 lead on a Nate Accius 3-pointer at the buzzer. 'Make no doubt about it, St. Thomas is a team that is very good,' Coral Springs coach Devin Barta said. 'They have very little weaknesses. We played ahead this time instead of behind, but Aquinas is a hell of basketball team. We knew they would make a run, and we just couldn't hold on.' Aquinas defeated Coral Springs three times this season, the previous two by a combined 40 points. The Colts have lost five straight games to the Raiders and eight overall dating back to 2006. Henry led Coral Springs with 16 points, while Joshua Pierre added 15 points.
