Everyone:

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and I apologize for circulating the agenda so late but was out of town last week.

Attached are the following for the monthly Insurance & Surety Committee conference call scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2014 at noon: (1) agenda; and (2) copy of the recent Order On Amended Motion For Summary Judgment in the case styled: Florida Workers' Advocates (FWA) et. al v. State of Florida Office of the Attorney General (August 13, 2014).

The FWA case is extremely significant in that Judge Jorge E. Cueto of the Miami-Dade Circuit Court, ruled that Section 440.11, Florida Statutes, the exclusive remedy provision in Florida Workers' Compensation Statute, is unconstitutional. Of course, if this decision is upheld, it changes the landscape in Florida's workplace injury litigation and opens the doors enumerable tort-based lawsuits impacting all of our clients. There will certainly be many groups scrambling to address this case legislatively and the trial lawyers bar seeking to oppose such legislation. Since there will be an impact to Workers Comp and other insurances, it is a case that this Committee should be cognizant of and be prepared to respond to inquiries from the RPPTL Section and possibly other groups. If possible, read the case prior to the call.

We will also address the Insurance & Surety Committee's presenting a seminar on Cyber Insurance and related topics at next year's RPPTL Annual Meeting in June 2015. We are in the beginning stages of planning the seminar and are looking for topics and speakers. Everyone's input is welcomed and if you want to get involved in the seminar, please let us know.

The dial-in information is:

Attached are copies of the Design Build Interamerican decisions from the
Eleventh Circuit I referenced on the call today. There are two decisions
because the first one dealt with the excess policy and the second one with
the primary policy. The second opinion merely recites the decision from the
first one.

Subject: [Liability Insurance] Florida Bar RPPTL Insurance & Surety Committee Monthly Call Scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2014, beginning at Noon Everyone: I hope you enjoyed your weekend and I apologize for circulating the agenda so late but was out of town last week. Attached are the following for the monthly Insurance & Surety Committee conference call scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2014 at noon: (1) agenda; and (2) copy of the recent Order On Amended Motion For Summary Judgment in the case styled: Florida Workers' Advocates (FWA) et. al v. State of Florida Office of the Attorney General (August 13, 2014). The FWA case is extremely significant in that Judge Jorge E. Cueto of the Miami-Dade Circuit Court, ruled that Section 440.11, Florida Statutes, the exclusive remedy provision in Florida Workers' Compensation Statute, is unconstitutional. Of course, if this decision is upheld, it changes the landscape in Florida's workplace injury litigation and opens the doors enumerable tort-based lawsuits impacting all of our clients. There will certainly be many groups scrambling to address this case legislatively and the trial lawyers bar seeking to oppose such legislation. Since there will be an impact to Workers Comp and other insurances, it is a case that this Committee should be cognizant of and be prepared to respond to inquiries from the RPPTL Section and possibly other groups. If possible, read the case prior to the call. We will also address the Insurance & Surety Committee's presenting a seminar on Cyber Insurance and related topics at next year's RPPTL Annual Meeting in June 2015. We are in the beginning stages of planning the seminar and are looking for topics and speakers. Everyone's input is welcomed and if you want to get involved in the seminar, please let us know. The dial-in information is: Dial-in: 888-376-5050 Pin: 8425484201# Moderator: 13137# The minutes and attendance roster will be circulated by separate email.
