Gauty v. Peninsular Fire Insurance
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Gauty v. Peninsular Fire Insurance, 407 So. 2d 1093 (1982)
1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 28722
Baskin, Pearson, Schwartz
Gauty v. Peninsular Fire Insurance
Opinion of the Court
The judgment entered against the appellants, who negligently failed to procure workmen’s compensation coverage for Cepero as an employee of his partnership, is affirmed. See Key v. Goley, 402 So.2d 80 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981); Sheridan v. Greenberg, 391 So.2d 234 (Fla.3d DCA 1980). However, the trial court is directed to reduce the judgment by $911.82, the amount which Cepero would have paid as an additional premium had the coverage he sought for himself been obtained. Derby v. Blankenship, 217 Ark. 272, 230 S.W.2d 481 (1950); Greenfield v. Insurance Inc., 19 Cal.App.3d 803, 97 Cal.Rptr. 164 (1971).
Affirmed as modified.
