All American Vending v. Kunzelman

482 So.2d 609, 11 Fla. L. Week. 406, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Feb 13, 1986)

The employer/carrier bears the burden of proving that penalties are not due. In this case the employer/carrier did not show why a Notice to Controvert was not filed and presented no evidence concerning their failure to pay death benefits. Therefore the court ruled that the deputy erred in failing to award penalties.
