We affirm the Second District's opinion in Department of Transportation v. CSX Transportation, Inc., 128 So. 3d 209 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013), and remand for disposition in accordance with this opinion.It is so ordered. |

| Type | Disposition |
| Subtype | Quashed & Remanded |
| Description | DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED ~ FSC-OPINION: For all the reasons explained in this opinion, we hold section 440.15(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2009), unconstitutional as applied to Westphal and all others similarly situated, as a denial of access to courts under article I, section 21, of the Florida Constitution. The statute deprives a severely injured worker of disability benefits at a critical time, when the worker cannot return to work and is totally disabled, but the worker's doctors-chosen by the employer-determine that the worker has not reached maximum medical improvement. Such a significant diminution in the availability of benefits for severely injured workers, particularly when considered in conjunction with the totality of changes to the workers' compensation law from 1968, when the access to courts provision was added to our Constitution, to the present, is unconstitutional under our precedent. Accordingly, we quash the First District's en banc decision in Westphal and remand this case to the First District for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered. ***7/07/16: CORRECTED OPINION*** |
