Steadman v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
932 So. 2d 1034 (Fla. 2006)
Dissenting opinion. In dissenting opinion, judge dissented from majority opinion remanding case to District Court of Appeal based on Aguilera v. Inservices, Inc., 904 So. 2d 84 (Fla. 2005). Mere delay of payments of workers’ compensation benefits or simple bad faith in handling workers’ compensation claims are not actionable torts and employees are not permitted to transform such simple delays into actionable tort cognizable in civil cause of action. Such a pronouncement in the law concerning delays of claims was the factual basis in the Aguilera case.
