Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1982

Zoll v. Kentucky Fried Chicken

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 15, 1982 · McCord, Mills, Smith

423 So. 2d 557; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 28657 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

MILLS, Judge.

Zoll appeals a compensation order denying her claim for wage-loss benefits and attorney’s fees. We affirm.

Existence of permanent impairment within the AMA Guides is required for Zoll’s injury. Paradise Fruit Company v. Floyd,-So.2d-(Fla. 1st DCA 1982) [7 FLW 1899]. Compare Racz v. Chennault, Inc., 418 So.2d 413 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982) (remand for evidence applying Guides to psychiatric disability).

The facts of this case do not require a finding of bad faith within the meaning of Section 440.34, Florida Statutes (1981).

AFFIRMED.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C.J., and McCORD, J., concur.
