FLORIDA STEEL CORPORATION, AND HARTFORD INSURANCE CO., APPELLANTS,
v.
CLARKE KEOUGH, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1983-06-15
No. AN-492
ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C.J., and WENTWORTH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
433 So. 2d 1025 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1983)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

In a detailed and persuasive order the deputy found that claimant had suffered a fifty percent loss in wage-earning capacity. §§ 440.02(9) and 440.15(3)(u), Fla.Stat. (1977). The issue being close and having been thoroughly contested before the deputy, we defer to his essentially factual determination. See Woodard v. Dade County Board of Public Instruction, 278 So. 2d 620 (Fla.1973); Walker v. Electronic Products & Engineering Co., 248 So. 2d 161 (Fla.1971); Kurtz v. Wall, 182 So. 2d 618 (Fla.1966); Guzman v. Surge Electric, Inc., 381 So. 2d 287 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980).

AFFIRMED.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C.J., and WENTWORTH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
