Southeast Recycling Corporation v. McClure
20 FLW D1808
JCC ordered employer/carrier to produce machine that
had injured claimant. The purpose of the Motion to
Produce was to obtain information in order to pursue a
third party claim against the manufacturer of the
machine. Court determined that JCC had jurisdiction to
order the production of machine. Because Section
440.39(7), Florida Statutes, provides that the
employee, employer and carrier have a duty to cooperate
with each other in investigating and prosecuting claims
and potential claims against third party tortfeasors by
producing non-privileged documents and allowing
inspection of premises, the order compelling production
was affirmed. Claimant had filed no Request for
Assistance or Petition for Benefits. There was no
evidence in this instance that the claimant was
attempting to establish employer liability and tort.
