Tucker v. Agrico Chemical Co.
476 So.2d 729, 10 Fla. L. Week. 2235, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Sep 27, 1985)
Court reweighed evidence before deputy commissioner and determined that there was sufficient evidence of record to warrant a modification of a previously entered order by the deputy commissioner. While the deputy's election to rely on one doctor in conflict with all other medical testimony before him would ordinarily be within his perogative his reliance must be warranted by the substance of that medical testimony and not merely by the doctor's conclusions against an increased rating nor his singular status as a live witness who saw the claimant before and after the prior order.Deputy's conclusion that claimant suffered no change in compensable physical impairment unsupported by evidence. Court determined that there was sufficient evidence of record justifying a finding of a change of condition.
