v.
ELBERT S. CARLEY, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1983-03-01
No. AN-61
SHIVERS, WENTWORTH and JOA-NOS, JJ., concur.
427 So. 2d 343 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1983) Caution
Cited by 37 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the deputy commissioner’s order awarding permanent total disability benefits (PTD), as there is substantial competent evidence to support the award. However, the deputy commissioner’s failure to make a finding of the date of maximum medical improvement precludes the parties from knowing when PTD benefits should begin. Therefore, the order is reversed in part and remanded to the deputy commissioner with instructions to make a determination of the date of maximum medical improvement.

SHIVERS, WENTWORTH and JOA-NOS, JJ., concur.

We hold that, under the circumstances of this case, where the accountant did not acknowledge error, the limitations period for accounting malpractice commenced when the Unite…
