District Court of Appeal of Florida March 27, 2003, No. 1D02-1476 (Kestel v. City of Cocoa)

lead-opinion

ERVIN, J.

This workers’ compensation appeal poses the question of whether the 120-day pay-and-investigate provision set forth in section 440.20(4), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1998), applies to a situation in which the claimant has a preexisting compensable injury that is exacerbated or aggravated by work duties.
