PATRICIA DEJEREZ, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 1991-05-29
No. 90-2005
ANSTEAD, WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
580 So. 2d 656 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1991) Caution
Cited by 36 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse and remand for a new trial on the authority of Wilhelm v. State, 568 So. 2d 1 (Fla.1990) and Brooks v. State, 577 So. 2d 680 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991). We agree with appellant that driving under the influence and driving with an unlawful blood alcohol constitute alternative bases of the same statutory offense, and appellant can only be adjudicated for one offense. See Parrish v. State, 561 So. 2d 685 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).

We find no error in the trial court’s evidentiary rulings and our reversal renders moot the issues raised concerning sentencing.

ANSTEAD, WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.

Although the circumstances still must demonstrate the necessary causal connection between the claimant’s injury and the wage loss, see Burger King v. Nicholas, 580 So. 2d 656 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), the judge found such causation in awarding benefits for wage loss when the claimant eventually performed an adequate job search after November 6, 1990. The absence of an adequate job search during earlier periods does not preclu…
