Vellucci v. Frank Crum / Broadspire Services, Inc.
JCC Weiss (Ft. Myers) – (Jonathan Cooley)(10-18-21) – Denied reimbursement to claimant, granting closed period of TTD/TPD. Claimant was unrepresented at final hearing seeking indemnity benefits and reimbursement for glasses. At hearing, a payout showed a payment to the claimant which the E/C argued for was glasses made in June of 2020 and the claimant admitted his wife handled finances and he probably did receive the money for the glasses. The JCC rejected the E/C’s argument the indemnity claims were barred by res judicata and awarded a closed period of TTD benefits (4 days) and TPD benefits (18 days) after offsetting claimant’s post-accident wages.
