Candyworld, Inc. v. Granite State Insurance Company
652 So.2d 1165 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995)
Third party defendant sought indemnity claim against
employer of injured worker after settling with injured
worker. The basis of the claim against the employer
was common law indemnification. Third party tortfeasor
in this instance was the general contractor who was
seeking indemnification from the subcontractor, the
employer of the injured worker. In this instance,
third party tortfeasor/general contractor shared the
exclusive remedy defense with the subcontractor and
accordingly, was not responsible for paying the injured
worker anything. The voluntary settlement by the
general contractor with the injured worker did not
create any liability on the subcontractor since the
general contractor was not required to pay anything to
the employee of the subcontractor because of the
exclusive remedy provisions of the workers'
compensation statute.
