Per Curiam.
AFFIRMED . See Bonagura v. Home Depot , 991 So. 2d 902, 905 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008) (holding that "the parties reached a valid, binding oral settlement agreement" even though the claimant refused to sign paperwork sent by the employer/servicing agent after mediation that included "material matters that were not discussed and agreed upon during the oral settlement talks"); Soto v. C-Worthy Corp. , 206 So. 3d 117, 119 (Fla 1st DCA 2016) (explaining that "[b]ecause indemnification had not been negotiated, its inclusion in the ‘necessary paperwork’ exceeded the scope of the written agreement, such that it was in effect a new offer which Claimant declined to accept" and thus Claimant's rejection of the new offer did not "nullify the previous agreement under the terms as set out in the valid, binding settlement agreement").
Rowe, C.J., and Roberts and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
