Arone v. Sherwood
561 So.2d 1269, 15 Fla. L. Week. D1429, (Fla.App. 4 Dist., May 23, 1990)
Court determined that judge erred in awarding workers' compensation carrier benefits based upon the filing of its workers' compensation lien in the third party action. Trial court erred in failing to consider sworn testimony of employee's attorney when determining whether employee had failed to receive full value of damages because of limits of insurance coverage and collectability. There was other evidence presented which demonstrated that the full value of the damages in the third party action was not collected and therefore the workers' compensation carrier should have collected less than the full amount of their lien in the third party action.
