Nikula v. Michigan Mut. Ins.
531 So.2d 330, 13 Fla. L. Week. 569, (Fla., Sep 22, 1988)
Court determined that employer/carrier's lien in third party action amounted to the ratio between the amount of the settlement and the true value of the case. This formula was used as opposed to determining employer/carrier's lien based upon the percentage of the comparative negligence of the claimant. For post 1983 injuries the amount to be received by the employer/carrier would be the amount of the settlement less the claimant's costs in pursuing the third party claim as compared to the overall settlement value of the case.
