Santana v. American Airlines
13 FLW D1376
JCC erred in ordering the claimant to execute and submit a completed settlement document. Parties in workers’ compensation cases can reach a valid binding oral settlement but the record must contain some evidence of the terms of the settlement. In this case, the JCC based his order granting the employer/carrier’s motion to enforce settlement entirely upon an unsworn motion filed by the employer/carrier. This does not constitute competent and substantial evidence to support a settlement. Case remanded for further proceedings.
