Hallal v. RDV Sports, Inc.
21 FLW D2501
Plaintiff was a student and intern with employer. The
internship was required for the obtaining of a degree
which was sought by the plaintiff. Plaintiff deemed to
be an employee of employer since he was paid for the
internship. Even if the claimant was not paid for the
internship, he would still have been considered an
employee of the employer. The plaintiff's
participation in the internship program constituted
valuable consideration in that such participation was
necessary in order for him to satisfy the requirements
of his degree. Plaintiff's exclusive remedy to recover
damages for his injuries was pursuant to the Florida
Workers' Compensation Act. Summary judgment in favor
of employer affirmed.
