Ulico Casualty Company v. Fernandez
27 FLW D1533
Collective bargaining arrangement did not violate the
provisions of Section 440.211(2) by diminishing
benefits otherwise due claimant under the Florida
workers' compensation system. The collective
bargaining arrangement in this instance limited the
physicians who could provide independent medical
examinations for injured workers. Court determined
that such provision supplanted or replaced but did not
diminish the claimant's entitlements under Chapter 440,
Florida Statutes. Accordingly, collective bargaining
terms were valid as an alternative to the provision of
benefits pursuant to Chapter 440, Florida Statutes.
