Becton v. K & L Contractors, Inc

595 So.2d 140 (5th DCA 1992), 17 Fla. L. Week. D467, Fla.App 5 Dist., Feb 14, 1992

In dissenting opinion, judge felt that the plaintiff had alleged sufficient detailed facts in complaint against employer to warrant an inference that the employer was guilty of willful and intentional conduct sufficient to preclude dismissal of the complaint against the employer as an exception to the exclusive remedy provisions of the workers' compensation statute. The plaintiff had alleged specific facts of intentional misconduct but had never stated that there was a causal connection between the alleged misconduct and the resulting injuries to the plaintiff. Dissenting judge felt that the case should be remanded to allow the plaintiff the opportunity to amend his complaint alleging such a causal connection.
