United States Eleventh Circuit

In suit against employer for injuries plaintiff sustained during a bank robbery, dismissal of complaint is affirmed as: 1) the negligence claim is precluded by the workers' compensation exclusivity bar; and 2) the intentional tort claim does not rise to the level of "indifference to employee safety" found in Florida cases in which the intentional tort exception to the workers' compensation exclusivity bar has been held to apply.
