Workers’ compensation challenges vary significantly across different industries. From complex coverage disputes and exemption issues in construction, to high-frequency claims in retail, hospitality, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, agriculture, public safety, and emergency services — each sector presents distinct legal risks.
MKRS Law defends employers, contractors, subcontractors, and corporate entities with strategies tailored to the operational realities of their industries. Our team works closely with clients to mitigate exposure, control costs, and navigate industry-specific regulatory frameworks with precision and efficiency.
We represent cities, counties, and governmental entities in defending claims under the Heart & Lung Statute (Chapter 112, Florida Statutes). Our attorneys are highly experienced in navigating the presumptive burden afforded to certain public employees (firefighters, law enforcement officers, corrections personnel), challenging unfounded claims, and presenting strong medical and factual defenses.
Our in-house Fraud Unit brings together legal and investigative professionals with extensive experience in identifying and prosecuting fraudulent Workers’ Compensation claims. From file inception to criminal prosecution, we collaborate with the Division of Insurance Fraud, state prosecutors, and federal agencies to build solid case packages for referral.
Key strengths:
Our appellate team has produced a series of pivotal rulings, setting legal precedents in workers’ compensation law. MKRS has successfully defended employers’ rights at the appellate level, including:
We regularly represent clients before state and federal appellate courts, delivering strategic and well-reasoned arguments that have gained national recognition.
MKRS Law defends claims filed under the Employer’s Liability Insurance portion of Workers’ Compensation policies—commonly referred to as “Coverage B.” These claims fall outside the scope of standard Workers’ Compensation or General Liability insurance and require a nuanced legal strategy. Our attorneys have the knowledge and precision needed to protect employers from liabilities arising in this grey zone of coverage.
MKRS Law has extensive experience defending claims brought under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). Our attorneys represent employers and carriers in cases involving overlap between Florida Workers’ Compensation Law and federal statutes—particularly in ports and maritime industries across Florida, the Southern U.S., and Puerto Rico.
