Florida businesses have Miami attorney James Fee to thank for staving off a 14.5 percent hike in their workers’ compensation premiums.
Fee, a 26-year litigator and partner at Druckman & Fee, prevailed in a suit to force transparency into the process for setting employers’ premiums. His victory is likely to hinder the scheduled Dec. 1 double-digit rate increase that sent businesses scurrying to find ways to cover the additional expense and had led groups like the Florida Chamber of Commerce to form special task forces.
