43 So.3d 767 (2010)

Barbara McKENZIE, Appellant, v. MENTAL HEALTH CARE, INC./SUMMIT CLAIMS CENTER, Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Rehearing Denied August 27, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael J. Winer of the Law Office of Michael J. Winer, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant.

Ben H. Cristal and Michael L. Cantrell of the Crystal Law Group, Tampa, for Appellees.


HAWKES, C.J.

In this workers' compensation appeal, we are required to interpret section 440.093, Florida Statutes, enacted by the Florida Legislature as part of the 2003 Chapter 440 reforms. Section 440.093 discusses the four situations when mental or nervous injuries arise. Because both parties appear to have misunderstood how the chapter now handles these types of claims, we reverse and remand this matter to the JCC for further proceedings.
