Hayward v. Oppenheim
468 So.2d 309, 10 Fla. L. Week. 878, (Fla.App. 3 Dist., Apr 02, 1985)
Claimant allegedly suffered an accident on the job.
According to affidavit filed by claimant, employer
advised him that he did not have medical insurance and
was not in a position to help him in any way. The
claimant then sued employer in circuit court. Court
determined that affidavit submitted by claimant did not
present sufficient evidence for a finding that the
employer was estopped in claiming the exclusivity
provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act as a
defense. The affidavit filed by the claimant did not
indicate that he neglected to file a workers'
compensation case because of representations made by
the employer nor in any other way conducted himself to
his detriment based upon reliance of the alleged
statements by the employer.
