Davis v. Phillips & Jordan
483 So.2d 534, 11 Fla. L. Week. 460, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Feb 20, 1986)
Claimant cannot be denied temporary total disability benefits because of his failure to search for work if the evidence shows that he neither knew nor should have known that he was medically released to return to work. Claimant's own testimony constitutes direct evidence that he was not instructed to return to work.Where the only evidence regarding any specific issue is in the form of deposition testimony the considerations favoring a deputy's perogative as the finder of fact are less compelling; the appellate court is considered in as good a position to evaluate and weigh testimony as the deputy under such circumstances.
