Moreover, our Firm has a unique and in-depth medical and legal understanding of Florida’s two first responder statutes: (a) the “heart and lung” statute covering heart diseases, hypertension and tuberculosis; and (b) the “communicable disease” statute covering Hepatitis C, meningococcal meningitis and tuberculosis.

With respect to the former, our Firm focuses on developing aggressive and successful defenses to such fraud claims. With respect to the latter, Conroy Simberg has decades of experience partnering with expert toxicologists and medical professionals to prevail in proving that workplace accidents were caused by the intoxication of the employee.
