Crawford & Company and Wheeled Coach Industries v. Barnes
22 FLW D977
JCC erred in awarding PT benefits to claimant because
the employer/carrier failed to file a Notice of Denial
within 14 days of the filing of a Claim for Benefits.
See North River Insurance Company v. Wuelling, 21 FLW
D2492. See Also: Commercial Carrier Corp. v. Madsen,
22 FLW D1054 (1st DCA 1997).
The JCC has broad discretion in regards to receiving
last minute surveillance evidence. However, certain
factors must be considered in exercising that
discretion. It is error to exclude certain late
disclosed evidence in the absence of evidence of actual
prejudice to the opposing party.
