District Court of Appeal of Florida

In a workers' compensation case, denial of a claim for penalties and interest on an award of temporary benefits to claimant is reversed where the employer/self-insured failed to pay the benefits as required under state law, and did not show that it was unaware of facts supporting the obligation to pay those benefits as of the date on which claimant alleged the benefits were due.
