Vero Beach Care Center v. Ricks
476 So.2d 262, 10 Fla. L. Week. 2248, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Sep 27, 1985)
Doctor was not able to causally relate claimant's complaints to her industrial accident and there was no other medical evidence indicating a causal relationship. Court reversed in part deputy commissioner's finding of claimant's entitlement to future medical care since there was no medical evidence supporting a causation between claimant's condition and compensable accident. Lay testimony is legally insufficient to support a finding of causation where the medical condition involved is not readily observable.
