Camblor v. Southeast Personnel Leasing, Inc. / Packard Claims Administration

Anthony M. Amelio

JCC Almeyda (Miami)(1-4-18) – Denied Motion for Advance. Claimant alleged a back injury working as a high-rise window washer. His salary ranged from $550 to $1300 per week. The Urgent Care restricted him to “light duty”. He alleged this allowed him to still hang from a harness, but not to carry the weight of a full bucket of water, limiting the windows he could clean. He requested light duty work but received no accommodation. On cross-examination he testified to total earnings between $4,000 and $6,000 for the twelve weeks between the date of accident and the injury. He did not report these earnings on the financial affidavit as part of the Motion for Advance. The JCC found that Claimant’s post-injury earnings were between $333 and $500 per week, which was not a substantial enough reduction in earning capacity to justify the advance.
