Hanson v. Gimrock Construction, Inc.
807 So.2d 167, 27 FLW D375
Court determined that General Release settling workers'
compensation case under Chapter 440, Florida Statutes,
had the effect of also settling a potential Jones Act
case that the claimant might have against the employer.
In footnote, court pointed out that workers'
compensation benefits received could be a setoff
against potential Jones Act damages available but in a
release situation, the release signed had the effect of
precluding a subsequent Jones Act claim.
