Rodrigo Aguilera v. Inservices, Inc.

no. 03-368
Miami-Dade County

In April 1999 Aguilera was injured on the job in a forklift accident. He was initially diagnosed with minor injuries, but alleged that a severe injury to his bladder had been found later. He sought worker's compensation benefits and alleged that his employer's insurer engaged in conduct that delayed necessary surgery and treatment for many months. The trial court refused to dismiss the claim, but the Third District Court reversed.
