Holmes County School Board v. Duffell
630 So.2d 639 (1st DCA 1994), 19 FLW D83
Civil cause of action brought by injured worker against
co-employee based upon the "unrelated works" exception
to the exclusive remedy provisions of the Florida
Workers'Compensation Act, i.e., Section 440.11, Florida
Statutes, provides that workers' compensation is not a
claimant's exclusive remedy as to liability of a fellow
employee when the fellow employee is assigned primarily
to unrelated works. Under Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, the State of Florida steps into the shoes of
a liable fellow employee. The exclusive remedy
provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act would not
preclude employer liability in this instance even
though the employer is the proper defendant in the
action by the employee.
