Rodriguez v. Sheraton Bal Harbour Hotel
509 So.2d 369, 12 Fla. L. Week. 1524, (Fla.App.1 Dist., Jun 23, 1987)
Claimant voluntarily quit employment following accident because of a dispute with another supervisor. Notwithstanding the fact that the reason for termination from the employment was not related to accident wage loss benefits still payable following proper job search.Where there is uncontradicted testimony a finding contrary to that is contrary to the weight of that evidence and not supported by competent substantial evidence. All doctors restricted claimant's activities following injury and it was error for deputy commissioner to reject this medical testimony notwithstanding the fact that claimant was able to perform duties in excess of the restrictions indicated by the doctors. Temporary partial benefits awarded.Medical testimony limited the claimant to light duty jobs. Court found the deputy commissioner erred in finding the claimant's job search was inadequate because of the fact that he only looked for light types of work. Evidence indicated that the claimant had done heavy work post-injury.
