Question: My daughter obtained an occupational license in
construction/painting in Okaloosa County, FL, 10 Apr 1998
and policy expired Apr 10, 1999. She purchased a workman’s
compensation insurance policy and paid $700 of the $1,700
required per her contract. My daughter listed the company
potential income of $80,000. Facts: She did not do any work
as a contractor; obtained license and paid $700 for
workman’s comp (balance: $1,000 owed). End of business due
to medical problems. Is there a way for her not to pay the
$1,000 plus attorney fees if we can prove she did not use
her occupational license becasue of health?
Problem 1: Okaloosa county not notified insurance company
was not notified about her not pursuing the business.

Problem 2: The FTBA Mutual Insurance agency (workman’s
comp) filed bankruptcy and now the state of Florida is the
receiver of assets which includes the balance of my
daughters policy ($1,000 plus reasonable attorney’s fee—God
only knows what is reasonable attorney’s fee). She was
required to send to the attorney representing the receiver
an interrogatory of her assets, which came to about $1,000
or face contempt of court.
