Abraham v. Dzafic
666 So.2d 232 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1995), 21 FLW D73
The workers' compensation immunity provisions are
applicable only to an employer if the injury arises out
of and in the course of the injured worker's
employment. 440.09(1), Florida Statutes. At the time
of this accident, the plaintiff/employee and a
co-employee were in a traveling status and were
traveling together to the same hotel for rest and
relaxation. Although the claimant was a painter and
the co-employee was a lighting technician, and their
work skills may have been unrelated, their work was
not. Since this accident happened within the course
and scope of the claimant's employment and the
co-employee was not engaged in unrelated works to that
of the injured employee/plaintiff, both the employer
and the co-employee were entitled to immunity under the
Workers' Compensation Act for the alleged negligent
conduct of the co-employee.
