La Croix Const. Co. v. Bush
431 So.2d 712, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., May 20, 1983)
Alleged employer represented to claimant that it was the general contractor carrying workers' compensation coverage for all employees on a certain job who were not covered by subcontracting employers. Based upon those representations claimant accepted employment with contractor/employer. Court found that claimant had changed his position to his detriment by continuing to work without procuring appropriate insurance coverage and accordingly under the doctrine of estoppel the employer/contractor could not deny that it was the claimant's employer.Court affirmed the deputy's refusal to award penalties against the employer/carrier since penalties were not claimed by the claimant in the pre-trial stipulation.
