Fly & Form, Inc. v. Marlon Masquez, Moss & Associates, LLC, 34 Fla. L. Weekly D1815a (9/2/09)
Employer denied Plaintiff's request for worker's compensation benefits. Plaintiff thereafter filed a personal injury case against the employer. The employer asserted the exclusivity defense of the worker's compensation statute, and sought summary judgment on that ground. On appeal, the Court found that the trial court erred in denying employer's motion for summary judgment and held that the employer was not estopped from asserting exclusivity defense of workers' compensation statute, even though it had denied employee further workers' compensation benefits after learning that employee had used fake social security number on his employment application and W-4 form.
