HR Law Cases

JCC Medina-Shore (Miami)(Tim Stanton) (12-16-2020)– Denied claim for attorney’s fees.  Counsel for the claimant argued fee entitlement for obtaining compensability of several body parts.  The PFB sought compensability of several body parts and a follow up visit with a walk-in clinic, the carrier paid for  authorized treatment of those body parts.  The JCC found there was no fee entitlement as all medical care provided occurred within 30 days of the carrier’s receipt of the PFB.  Counsel for the claimant also argued a fee was due pertaining to taxable costs.  In response to the PFB, the carrier agreed to entitlement to taxable costs.  Taxable costs were never paid.  The JCC found the costs were not payable until such time as the claimant’s attorney files a verified motion for costs, which was never done.   Click here to view Order
