Lopez v. All Star Investigations, Inc.

In this workers’ compensation appeal, Claimant, an armed security guard, argues the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) erred in concluding the fall he sustained on April 19, 2012, while he was patrolling the premises of an apartment complex, was not a compensable accident.
