FPCA Automobile Division Seeks Comments on Proposed Legislation

Dec 7, 2010

FPCA Automobile Division Members:

As discussed at the planning meeting yesterday, we are seeking comments on proposed legislation for the Florida 2011 Regular Legislative Session.  Attached are the following documents:

  • Proposed revisions to the PIP statute.
  • The workers’ compensation-style draft legislative proposal to cap attorney fees.
  • The “may vs. shall” proposals.
  • Proposed bad faith legislation.

Please provide any comments, suggestions and/or edits to Katie Webb (kwebb@cftlaw.com) by Friday, December 10, 2010.  Also, please indicate your preference for one of the following:  (1) the “stair step” approach to attorney fees set forth in the proposed revisions to the PIP statute; (2) the workers’ compensation-style attorney fee cap; (3) an absolute cap on attorney fees; or (4) a combination of (1) or (2) and an absolute cap.

Should you have any questions, please contact Katie Webb (kwebb@cftlaw.com).
