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.
