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.
