Quintana v. Southern Precast, Inc.
634 So.2d 688
Prior to the approval of any settlement agreement, the parties must provide the JCC with all evidence in their possession which is material to the proposed settlement. Atthe time of the settlement, the claimant was not aware of the existence of a written report from the doctor which established a causal relationship between the claimant's medical condition and his employment. Such report had not been given to the judge prior to his approval of the settlement although it was unclear as to whether the employer/carrier had obtained a copy of the medical report. Failure to provide the medical report to the judge prior to the approval of the settlement was grounds to set aside the settlement agreement.
