Discussions Underway for Murray "Fix"

By David A. McCranie, Esq.

The News Service of Florida reports that discussions are underway about a legislative response to Murray v. Mariner Health.  According to the report, the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee took testimony Tuesday from NCCI, a judge of compensation claims, and an actuary at the Office of Insurance Regulation, but didn't take any testimony from any attorneys, insurers, or employers.

The Service also quotes Sen. Garrett Richter (R-Naples), the Chairman of the Committee, as saying, "I've not seen a bill yet, but I understand the various parties are communicating with each other to come up with a satisfactory response."
