Hertz Rent-A-Car v. Sosa
21 FLW D259
Claimant and employer/carrier entered into a settlement
agreement settling all compensation but leaving future
medical open. As a part of the agreement,
rehabilitation temporary total benefits were
settled. Court determined that Section 440.20(12)(a)
precludes the settlement of temporary total
rehabilitation benefits payable by the
employer/carrier. However, the court ruled that the
claimant was estopped by the plain language of the
settlement agreement from claiming additional temporary
total rehabilitation benefits, i.e., the Joint Petition
Settlement Agreement specifically stated that
rehabilitation temporary total benefits were being
settled. Dissenting opinion.
