Allen v. Carman's Estate

281 So.2d 317, (Fla., Jul 31, 1973)

An employer not required to obtain w/c coverage nevertheless decided to obtain coverage. Accordingly he took out W/C with an insurance carrier. However he failed to post in a conspicous place the fact that he had a W/C carrier as required by Section 440.05. The question is whether the employer can now claim the W/C provisions as the sole remedy against a suit by the employee. Court ruled that he could claim the W/C provision as the sole remedy notwithstanding the fact that the notice provisions had not been complied with.
