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.
