Several of our attorneys specialize in representing public employers in the defense of claims under Florida Statute 112.18 also knows as “The Heart and Lung Bill.” We have successfully defended over 1000 first responder cases by staying abreast of the case law and medical trends in these cardiac claims. We utilize a team approach with our claim handlers, employers and medical providers to achieve the optimum results for the Employers in these cases.

In addition, our team has significant experience in representing public entities in the defense of psychiatric claims filed under Florida Statute 112.1815(5) and (6) with a diagnosis of PTSD. Our attorneys have presented at multiple seminars educating the public sector as to the ins and outs of this complex statutory section.

Our lawyers have also been on the forefront in working with public employers in connection with the Cancer Bill for Firefighters. We have worked to establish a protocol for multiple employers to determine if there will be entitlement to benefits for firefighters under Florida Statute 112.1816.
