Simpson Motors v. Wilson

453 So.2d 140, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jul 13, 1984)

Employer/carrier filed Notice to Controvert wage loss benefits. Deputy commissioner awarded penalties based on underpayment of temporary total benefits. On appeal the penalties were sustained notwithstanding the filing of the Notice to Controvert since the Notice to Controvert only related to the wage loss benefits claimed and not to the alleged underpayment of temporary total.Whether a claimant has conducted an adequate job search is a factual determination for the deputy commissioner. Court determined that there was competent and substantial evidence supporting the deputy's finding of an adequate job search.
