DE LA ROSA v. CHENEY BROTHERS INC (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Julio DE LA ROSA, Appellant, v. CHENEY BROTHERS, INC., and Clarendon National Insurance Company, Appellees.

No. 1D17-2948

Decided: April 09, 2019

Manuel G. Franco, Tampa, and Bill McCabe, Longwood, for Appellant. Robert B. Griffis of Jones, Hurley & Hand, P.A., Orlando, for Appellees.

In this workers' compensation case, the Claimant appeals an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims (“JCC”) denying his claim for continued palliative care for a November 2002 injury. He claims the JCC reversibly erred in finding the E/C satisfied its burden of proving a break in the causal chain and by failing to find waiver by the E/C under section 440.20(4), Florida Statutes. We disagree and affirm. See Teco Energy, Inc. v. Williams, 234 So.3d 816 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017).

Affirmed.

Per Curiam.

Osterhaus, Winokur, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
