- Title
A Primer on the International-tort Exception to Employers' Workers' Compensation Immunity.
- Authors
Webster, Peter D.; Graves, Christine Davis
- Abstract
The article presents a primer on an intentional-tort legal exception to employers' workers' compensation immunity in Florida. A strict liability legal doctrine is addressed in relation to Florida's Workers' Compensation Law, workplace injuries, and an employee's relinquishment of the right to file a common-law action against an employer for negligence. Several Florida statutes and legal cases are mentioned, including Turner v. PCR Inc. which deals with an employer's lack of immunity.
