Opinion
No. AI-296.
July 13, 1982.
Appeal from the Deputy Commissioner.
Bernard J. Zimmerman and Michael M. O'Brien, of Akerman, Senterfitt Eidson, Orlando, for appellants.
Bruce W. Jacobus, of Wolfe, Kirschenbaum, Caruso, Mosley Kabboord, P.A., Indialantic, for appellee.
We find that there is competent substantial evidence to affirm the deputy commissioner's order awarding claimant wage loss benefits. Further, the deputy was not in error by reserving jurisdiction for entry of an order for attorney's fees and costs. However, the award of a fee to claimant's attorney would be proper only pursuant to the provisions of Section 440.34, Florida Statutes (1979).
BOOTH, WENTWORTH and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
