Sorry, I was in a rush and didn't realize I didn't add the subsections. I received a copy of a recording of my unemployment appeal hearing and it came with F.S. 443.041(3) (Privileged Communications) and 443.1715(1) (Records and Reports). I was specifically concerned with the phrase in... Read more »
To what is this in reference? It's difficult to attempt to answer a question without some context. Also, FS 440 is the workers' compensation statute, so this question may be under the wrong practice type.

Unfortunately, once you've settled your work comp case, and especially when a judge has enforced the settlement, there's not much you can do. Usually, if you disagree with the judge's decision, you can appeal to the First District Court, but they don't usually do much, and, most... Read more »

If you have car insurance, it should defend you against the claim being made against you.

Unless you plan on... Read more »

I got hired for a job, took a drug test and heard nothing back. They had me working there for 3 weeks then decided to fire me for failing the drug test. Is there anything I can do? I failed due to marijuana and they took 3 weeks to let me know.
I'm guessing that you were not paid for the three weeks that you worked after being hired but before you were let go due to the failed drug test? If so, is your question whether you can get paid for that time worked? More information is needed to answer that question, but it's possible... Read more »

During an extraction for a permanent bridge, I received an injury. Small but am now under another doctor's care hoping it will heal entirely.

Can I counter sue for injuries!

I agree that you can be fired for almost any reason in Florida (barring some exceptions). It does seem like this was a legitimate reason for termination as, maybe, your employer has some trade secrets that it doesn't want to get into its competitors hands. I'm not saying that you would do... Read more »
