CITY OF MIAMI v. WRIGHT

No. AG-285.

414 So.2d 24 (1982)

CITY OF MIAMI, Appellant, v. Robert X. WRIGHT (Deceased) and Earline M. Wright, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

May 18, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George F. Knox, Jr., City Atty. and Joseph Hackney, Jr., Asst. City Atty., Miami, for appellant.

Sam H. Nedelman, Miami, for appellees.


PER CURIAM.

The City of Miami urges that the Deputy Commissioner erred in awarding to the claimant attorney's fees. We agree. Since the City of Miami admitted that the claimant, now deceased, suffered a compensable injury and paid to him certain Workers' Compensation benefits, there is no basis for assessing attorney's fees pursuant to Section 440.34(2)(c), Florida Statutes (1979).
