District Court of Appeal of Florida

In a workers' compensation appeal involving two employment accidents, a decision allocating and determining the responsibility for benefits between two E/C's is reversed in part where the JCC erred in: 1) not dividing liability 80% to one E/C and 20% to the other in accordance with his findings of responsibility, because Florida section 440.09(1)(b) did not apply in the case at hand; and 2) determining the period for which benefits were due.
