Perez v. Pennsuco Cement & Aggregates
529 So.2d 1259, 13 Fla. L. Week. 1976, (Fla.App. 3 Dist., Aug 23, 1988)
Court interpreted settlement agreement of workers' compensation lien in third party action and determined that employer/carrier was not entitled to reduction of future medical benefits in the form of attendant care. Apparently an agreement was reached between the employer/carrier and the claimant as to employer/carrier's amount of lien but court interpreted this not to include future medical for attendant care. Settlement agreements of liens are interpreted liberally in favor of the beneficiary of workers' compensation benefits.
