Edward A. McKINNEY, Appellant, v. The HERTZ CORPORATION, and Home Indemnity Company, Appellees.
    No. BI-359.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 6, 1986.
    Timothy H. Kenney, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Harry D. Robinson, P.A., West Palm Beach; and Debra Levy Neimark of Nei-mark & Neimark, Coral Springs, for appel-lees.
   PER CURIAM.

In the context of this workers’ compensation proceeding, the evidence presented by claimant was sufficient to shift the burden to the employer and carrier to establish that the medical bills had been paid within the statutory period. The employer and carrier failed to carry that burden. Therefore, the order denying an attorney’s fee is reversed and the case is remanded for award of an attorney’s fee to claimant,

SMITH, JOANOS and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
