Crowder v. Jacksonville Transit Authority
21 FLW D684
Claimant suffered two injuries while employed by the
same employer. The two injuries were covered by
different insurance carriers. Claimant settled second
accident and in the joint petition stipulation agreed
that as a result of the second accident, a permanent
injury resulted. Thereafter, a claim for benefits was
filed against the first carrier for the first accident
and in the new claim for benefits, the claimant took
the position that the second accident was only a
temporary exacerbation of the first accident. Court
determined that because of the joint petition
stipulations, the claimant was precluded from taking
the position that she did not suffer a permanent injury
from the second accident in an attempt to seek further
wage loss benefits from the employer and carrier for
the first accident.
