Austen Const. Management Corp. v. Waters

508 So.2d 763, 12 Fla. L. Week. 1482, (Fla.App.1 Dist., Jun 16, 1987)

The appellate court will not reverse a deputy's order for a readily correctible technical error that the deputy could have corrected had he been asked to do so by filing a Motion for Correction under workers' compensation Rule 4.141.A valid job search is not an absolute condition precedent to an award of partial disability wage loss benefits but only an evidentiary burden; deemed earnings may be an acceptable alternative method of proof where the evidence shows a voluntary limitation of income due to medical limitations and disability coupled with a residual ability to earn a certain amount per week.
