Holmes County School Board v. Duffell

630 So.2d 639

Section 440.11(1), Florida Statutes, which provides that workers' compensation is the claimant's exclusive remedy against co-employees for his injuries on-the-job accidents is not the claimant's exclusive remedy as to liability of a fellow employee when each is operating in the furtherance of an employer's business but are assigned primarily to unrelated works. Section 768.28(9)(a), Florida Statutes, immunizes public employees from personal liability for torts on the job by requiring any civil action for the employee's negligence to be maintained against the governmental entity. Under the exclusive remedy provisions, the governmental entity would be immune from liability. However, because of the provision requiring governmental liability for its employee's negligence, the governmental entity is not immune notwithstanding the exclusive remedy provisions of the Florida Workers' Compensation Act.
