Description
ROBERTS, Justice. Plaintiff-appellee filed suit in the court below to recover for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by reason of the negligence of defendant-appellant's employee. The cause went to trial on the issues of not guilty and the contributory negligence of the plaintiff, and on the further issue made by defendant's plea that ""at the time alleged in said declaration the plaintiff was an employee of said defendant, which said defendant was required by the law of Florida to maintain workmen's compensation coverage and was in all respects under the coverage of said statute, and that the injuries complained of arose out of the employee's course of employment with said defendant."" It was shown during the trial that plaintiff had been offered and had refused to accept workmen's compensation in the amount of $22 per week. The jury found for the plaintiff, assessing his damages at $500, final judgment was entered, and appeal has been perfected from such final judgment.
