Copeland Steel Erectors v. Miles

483 So.2d 107, 11 Fla. L. Week. 406, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Feb 13, 1986)

Doctor recommended that claimant be seen by another physician based upon the fact that the medical condition diagnosed may have developed as a result of claimant's compensable accident. Court determined that deputy commissioner's award of an evaluation by the second doctor was proper; however the award of treatment was improper unless a sufficient causal connection was established between the claimant's industrial accident and his medical complaints. There was no showing in this case of a causal connection between claimant's industrial accident and medical condition.
