Edenfield v. B & I Contractors, Inc.
18 FLW D2105, September 22, 1993 (2nd DCA)
Claimant settled workers' compensation by joint
petition agreement. Court determined that employer was
not responsible for any alleged acts of violating
Section 440.205, F.S., for activities prior to the
signing of the joint petition agreement. There was an
allegation of wrongful discharge subsequent to the
joint petition settlement agreement and court ruled
that the joint petition did not preclude such a
wrongful termination cause of action. The settlement
and release of the workers' compensation claim would
not barr an action for subsequent wrongful termination
alleged to be the result of the workers' compensation
claim. The release was valid only to claims which had
matured at the time of the execution of the release.
