Cardiomyopathy And Florida’s First Responded Presumption

Cardiomyopathy disability attorney

In a case of Orange County v. Wilder, the 1st District Court of Appeals has ruled that viral cardiomyopathy constitutes heart and “heart disease” as the term is used in Section Florida Statute 112.18.  If a presumption applies, a first responder is under no obligation to establish occupational causation and the employer has the burden to prove that they did not get the virus at work.

Are you a first responder and have a question about this issue? We represent all over the state of Florida First Responders who need help just like in this situation. Give us a call 727-894-3188 to talk to an attorney that can help.
