Summary of this case from Twin Cities Hosp. v. CantrellOpinion

An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims. Shelley M. Punancy, Judge.

Scott A. Silver and John G. Savoca of Davis, Silver Levy, West Palm Beach, for Appellees/Cross-Appellants.
In this workers' compensation case, the claimant failed to show "a causal connection between . . . her injury and . . . subsequent wage loss." Interim Servs. v. Levy, 28 Fla. L. Weekly D546, D547 (Fla. 1st DCA Feb. 21, 2003). Therefore, we AFFIRM the JCC's denial of temporary benefits for the periods of March 13, 2000, through March 25, 2000, and April 16, 2000, through April 11, 2001. For the same reason, we find merit in the point raised on cross-appeal and REVERSE the award of temporary partial disability benefits for the period of March 26, 2000, through April 15, 2000.
