Workers’ Compensation is insurance coverage purchased by the employer/business that provides benefits for job-related employee injuries. Florida law requires all employers to purchase workers’ compensation coverage (with a few exceptions). Under a workers’ compensation policy, employees are compensated for occupationally incurred injuries, regardless of fault. This coverage makes employers immune from some injury lawsuits by employees. In Florida, the Division of Workers’ Compensation within the Department of Financial Services is the primary regulator for ensuring employees receive the proper benefits under this coverage, which includes benefits for medical expenses, disability, or death. The Office of Insurance Regulation primarily regulates the…

Luxury supercar maker McLaren is deviating from the high-end special-edition norm by creating a run of 10 road-legal 570S GT4-inspired vehicles. The model is called the MSO X, and it looks as track-ready nimble as any racecar-inspired weekend thrillride that’s ever blown the doors off a station wagon. Such special editions are typically limited to single or two-car runs, but ten lucky customers will be proud owners of the road-legal 570 GT4. The cosmetics are striking: the MSO X features custom paintwork inspired by legendary ’90s McLaren F1 GTR Le Mans cars. McLaren Special Operations was able to blend sleek…

Luxury automobile owners are often broad-spectrum connoisseurs; last year, we covered a story about a Lamborghini owner who designed a speedboat to match his Aventador. Perhaps he was inspired by the eight custom speedboats that had arisen out of Mercedes’ collaborations with builders. As a strategy, such cross-pollination can provide very effective brand exposure; the one context nourishes the other, and lots of green grows as a result. In that spirit, Mercedes-AMG has introduced a ninth speedboat to shout the Mercedes-Benz gospel. This one is a match for the Project One hypercar. The Formula 1 association came standard equipment with the…

Aston Martin is keeping the DB11 variations rolling out of the factory. The original V12 DB11, a smash hit with drivers and critics alike, has been fast on its way to becoming an icon of grand tourer design since it was introduced in 2016. Last summer’s V8 variation presented a lighter and more nimble driving experience at the expense of a little horsepower. And their drop-top version, the DB11 Volante, is expected to see delivery beginning in the spring of next year. But Aston recently provided a window to the future. The Volante’s lines, fascia and rear present the same…

The new timepiece is designed with a 44mm…

For 2018, McLaren’s new Sports Pack for the 570GT allows performance-minded drivers attracted to the grand tourer design a few key improvements. It’s a good way to bridge the gap between the track-inspired 570S and the 570GT, which is geared toward the regular driver. The package adds the 570S Coupe’s steering rack, shocks, and stability control settings to a 570GT. Suspension is stiffened front and rear, and the tires are upgraded to Pirelli Corzas. Beginning with this model year, all 570GTs benefit from standard carbon ceramic brakes for a smooth, reliable, and enjoyable ride. But the stand-out option of McLaren’s…
