Safeharbor Employer Services I, Inc. v. Velazquez

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that federal law preempts state law where the state law actually conflicts with the federal law
• explaining the right to enact compensation laws allowing illegal aliens to recover is matter for state legislature, and Florida “clearly” allows benefits for illegal aliens
• rejecting the federal law preemption argument because there was no express preemption language, no conflict between state and federal law, and the federal law did not thoroughly occupy the field of law
• “Therefore, we conclude that the Florida legislature’s right to enact workers’ compensation benefits for illegal aliens is not preempted by federal action.”
• worker’s status as illegal alien does not preclude receipt of workers compensation benefits
