Hodges v. Citrus World, Inc.
850 So.2d 648
Plaintiff filed cause of action against employer alleging wrongful discharge in violation of Section 440.205, Florida Statutes. This statutory provision provides that no employer shall discharge, threaten to discharge, intimidate or coerce any employee by reason of such employee’s valid claim for compensation or attempt to claim compensation under the Florida Workers’ Compensation Act. Summary judgment entered by circuit court in favor of defendant employer. On appeal, summary judgment reversed. There was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the claimant was terminated for pursuing her workers’ compensation claim or whether she was terminated because of violating certain administrative rules of the employer.
