Chase v. Walgreen Company
24 FLW D2819
Claimant suffered workers' compensation claim and filed
a civil cause of action against employer pursuant to
Section 440.205 Florida Statutes based upon employer's
alleged actions of threats, intimidation, and coercion
in employment activity as a result of and in response
to the work related injury. The claimant remained
employed by the employer and the question was whether
a cause of action would be viable under Section
440.205, Florida Statutes, where the claimant remained
employed and had not been discharged, i.e., does
Section 440.205, Florida Statutes, create a cause of
action for retaliatory "intimidation or coercion"
absent a discharge. Court determined that cause of
action against employer was viable even though the
claimant had not been discharged from her employment
with employer. Compare Montes De Oca v. Orkin
Exterminating Company, 692 So.2d 257. Dissenting
opinion.
