Should Florida Shadow Texas In Defining Gross Negligence?

To be or not to be remains the question with workers’ compensation and gross negligence. In the case of Villalta v. Cornn International, the death of a Florida drywall worker who was killed due to alleged gross negligence brings up the fine line between blatant abandon and straightforward negligence, according to workers’ compensation experts and attorneys, Phil Griffs and Nicholas Romanello. Currently, Florida law bars contractors and subcontractors from being sued for gross negligence when another subcontractor employs and insures its own crew.
