The National Council on Compensation Insurance said it is deciding whether to appeal the Florida insurance commissioner's decision today denying an 8.9 percent rate increase request for workers' compensation insurance.
Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation asked NCCI to reduce the increase request by 2.5 points to 6.4 percent.
NCCI sought the hike after the Oct. 23, 2008 court decision, Emma Murray vs. Mariner Health and ACE USA, tossing out restrictions on fees for attorneys representing injured workers. NCCI estimated the ruling would expand system costs.
