In Daniela Valderrama v. Giorgia Armani and Chubb Group of Insurance Companies the claimant filed for TPD benefits. Claimant was terminated and the JCC found that the claimant’s termination was the result of a reduction in the employer’s work force and not because of claimant’s physical limitations. The JCC held that the claimant was required to present a good faith job search to establish a causal relationship between her injuries and the loss of wages. Here, the JCC concluded claimant did not demonstrate a causal relationship between the accident and the earnings loss. TPD benefits DENIED.
