disconnected the hose he was using caused the Claimant to fall off the

benefits being paid for many years before a settlement of $779,000 was
obtained. The personal injury claim was denied by the Circuit Court finding
the defendant had workers’ compensation immunity.
The 3d District Court of Appeal overturned this ruling and upon remand
