The severity of workers' compensation claims are increasing at a higher rate in Florida than across the country, according to a report from Aon Risk Solutions.
While the severity of claims is rising by 2 percent across the United States, in Florida, it is rising at about 3 percent a year and that rate could rise dramatically in the coming years. The state's workers' compensation system may undergo a big change on March 30, when Florida is set to appeal a 2014 decision that declared the system unconstitutional.
