Garrison v. S & L Inc.

308 So.2d 627, (Fla.App. 3 Dist., Jan 21, 1975)

Claimant, domiciled in Florida, was injured in the course of his employment as a counselor in North Carolina. Under North Carolina law, if a claimant accepts workers' compensation benefits, he may not sue a fellow employee for negligence arising out of the same accident. In this instance, the claimant received benefits under the workers' compensation statute and in lawsuit filed in Florida, was precluded by the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act from filing the claim.
