Case Summaries

Workers' Comp

[06/24] Bifulco v. Patient Bus. & Fin. Serv., Inc.
In plaintiff's wrongful termination suit against her former employer, Fifth District's reversal of trial court's grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment is affirmed as workers' compensation retaliation claims brought against the state under section 440.205 are not subject to the presuit notice requirements of section 768.28(6)

[06/22] Hawaii Stevedores, Inc. v. Ogawa
In a petition for review of a decision of the Benefits Review Board (BRB) affirming an Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) grant of disability benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, the petition is granted in part where: 1) the mere fact that an expert witness talked with a party's lawyer and then altered his or her opinion language, though it might be considered relevant, did not require a factfinder to find that expert witness was other than credible; and 2) the ALJ's finding of the maximum medical improvement date was not supported by substantial evidence. However, the petition is denied in part where: 1) the ALJ's finding that petitioner did not meet its burden of demonstrating prejudice was supported by substantial evidence, and respondent's late notice was properly excused; and 2) respondent's stroke qualified as a compensable injury under the Longshore Act.

[06/11] Zenith Ins. Co. v. Ayala
In a worker's compensation suit, the court of appeals' affirmance of trial court's holding that the insurer waived its right to contest compensability by not timely disputing the claimant's lumbar condition diagnosis is reversed and remanded as the sixty-day period for challenging compensability does not apply to a dispute over extent of injury.

[05/07] In re Odyssey Healthcare, Inc.
In plaintiff's negligence case against her employer, defendant's petition for writ of mandamus is conditionally granted as, the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to grant the defendant's motion to compel arbitration as the plaintiff failed to prove a valid defense against enforcement of her agreement to arbitrate disputes with her employer.
