Suarez v. Boeing Distribution Service / Sedgwick
JCC Jacobs (Miami)(Caitlin Golden)(5-10-21) – Denied Motion for Advance. The claimant sought a $2,000.00 advance to pay for an IME. The E/C denied the advance contending that the claimant refused to work within her restrictions and therefore a causal nexus between the loss of earnings and the accident did not exist. The JCC found that the claimant failed to prove an actual physical impairment and did not reasonably justify her decision to reject the Employer’s job offer. The JCC also found that the claimant requested an advance for an IME without knowing the cost of the IME. Click here to view Order |
