Holmes v. Homosassa Springs, Inc.

466 So.2d 1236, 10 Fla. L. Week. 928, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Apr 11, 1985)

Medical testimony revealed that claimant's leg problems were related to arteriorial insufficiency probably resulting from claimant's diabetic condition as opposed to compensable accident. Court ruled that before there can be an award of workers' compensation benefits the claimant must demonstrate that the injury is causally connected to his employment. For conditions not readily observable or discoverable without a medical examination proof of causation must be based upon reasonable medical probability. Since doctor testified claimant's condition not related to accident benefits denied.
