Palumbo v. Metropolitan Dade County
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 22, 1985 · Barfield, Joanos, Mills
465 So. 2d 647; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 764; 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 13182 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Palumbo v. Metropolitan Dade County

Opinion of the Court

MILLS, Judge.

Palumbo appeals from a workers’ compensation order denying him employer/carrier paid attorney’s fees. He asserts entitlement to a fee pursuant to Section 440.-34(3)(a), Florida Statutes (1983), or Section 440.34(3)(b), Florida Statutes (1983).

We find competent substantial evidence in the record to support the deputy’s findings that Palumbo’s attorney did not successfully assert a claim for medical benefits only and that Palumbo suffered no economic loss.

AFFIRMED.

JOANOS and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
