John T. Minnema, Inc. v. Collins

We affirm the award of attorney’s fees since there is competent substantial evidence to support the finding that the employer/carrier did not undertake within 21 days a reasonable investigation regarding the validity of the claim as required by Section 440.34(1), Florida Statutes (1978).
