Essentially, Stahl vs. Hialeah was an indictment of the entire workers’ compensation law in Florida, and the First District Court of Appeal, the Florida Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court have rejected that indictment.
The question Stahl raised was whether the workers’ comp law provided proper access to the courts for injured workers and a proper remedy for their injuries. It appears from the FL Supreme Court’s refusal to accept jurisdiction and the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal as well that the courts are comfortable with the constitutionality of the workers’ compensation laws enacted by the legislature.
