For nearly half a century, MKRS’ attorneys have effectively defended
employers, insurers and self-insureds throughout the state of Florida.
With extensive workers' compensation experience, our lawyers enable
employers and claims administrators to effectively attend to labor and
personnel matters, rendering result-oriented representation consistent
with each client’s individual requirements. Both the Labor & Employment
and the Workers' Compensation Divisions enable MKRS to offer
comprehensive guidance in these separate but related fields.

APPEALS
Our attorneys are cognizant of the need to combine expert legal counseling and innovative strategies with superior service. Our commitment to this is evidenced by the numerous landmark decisions we have achieved such as the unprecedented rulings establishing the employer’s absolute right to terminate all compensation and medical benefits on a finding of fraud (Wright v. Uniforms for Industry) and the employer’s statutory right to reimbursement of overpaid benefits (Rufus Brown v. L.P. Sanitation).

CONSTRUCTION
Recognizing the impact of specific sections of Florida’s Workers' Compensation Law on the construction industry, MKRS provides focused defense in these specialized claims. MKRS represents contractors, subcontractors and independent contractors in coverage disputes, exemption issues, and third party liabilities.

FRAUD
Since the enactment of the Workers' Compensation Fraud Statute, MKRS attorneys have defended fraudulent claims and worked with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation Fraud and the Offices of the State Attorney to protect the interests of employers and carriers. MKRS has attained national recognition for its unprecedented defense work in this complex area of law.

MEDICAL SET-ASIDE
Our attorneys prepare the necessary allocation requirements enforced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for certain workers' compensation settlements requiring these specialized provisions. Understanding the changing and evolving needs of clients, our attorneys offer cost-effective solutions to these intricate and important issues.

EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE
MKRS attorneys defend claims filed against the Employer's Liability Insurance portion of Workers' Compensation Insurance policies. Employer's Liability Insurance, previously referred to as "Coverage B", insures liabilities not covered under Workers' Compensation Law or General Liability policies.
