The National Council on Compensation Insurance Inc. estimates that an increase in unfunded liabilities for FLorida workers' compensation is expected to exceed $1 billion, resulting from three state Supreme Court rulings.
Insurance companies, individual self-insured employers, and employers with deductible policies are expected to saddle the $1 billion debt.
That increase is in addition to the almost 20% rate increase proposed earlier this year, an NCCI news release said.
