As is the case with a number of other states, Florida has a special presumption of compensability that favors first responders, such as law enforcement officers and firefighters who contract specified diseases or conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, or hypertension. Florida’s provision, § 112.18(1)(a), applies only where the law enforcement officer has successfully passed a physical examination “upon entering into” service. The appellate court held that the 21-month interval between the officer’s physical examination and his hire date was too lengthy to qualify as “upon entering into” service and that the officer was accordingly not entitled to the presumption.
