BUENA VISTA CONST. CO. v. CAPPS

No. 94-564.

656 So.2d 1378 (1995)

BUENA VISTA CONSTRUCTION COMPANY and Aetna Life & Casualty Company, Appellants, v. Donald CAPPS, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

July 13, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel DeCiccio & Roland P. Tan, Jr., of Deciccio & Associates, Orlando, for appellants.

Frederic M. Schott, Orlando, for appellee.


SMITH, Senior Judge.

The employer/carrier appeal a worker's compensation order awarding attorney's fees to claimant's attorney. The E/C contend that the judge of compensation claims erroneously considered the value of future benefits in awarding the fee, because the only monetary benefits obtained by the services of claimant's attorney were limited to past-due and unpaid benefits under a previously entered worker's compensation order. We agree and reverse.
