An owner/lessor of a dangerous instrumentality is immune from suit when an employee of the lessee/employer is injured by a fellow employee's negligent operation of the dangerous instrumentality and the injured servant collects workers' compensation benefits. This law applies not only to Florida workers' compensation but also to the Federal Longshore and Harbor Workers Act payment of benefits to the injured worker.
