Attorney's Fee Amendment Results in Worker's Inability to Find an Attorney
Here's a link to an article from the 12/30/2007 edition of the Palm Beach Post regarding the effect of the 2003 amendment to §440.34, Fla. Stat. As the attorneys challenging the constitutionality of the amendment have argued in Murray v. Mariners Health, Case No. SC07-244, now pending before the Florida Supreme Court, the article illustrates how the amendment makes it difficult for injured workers to find an attorney willing to represent them - particularly in cases where the amount of benefits at issue is relatively small.
