Daytona Linen Service v. Davis
454 So.2d 46, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Aug 07, 1984)
Court awarded temporary total compensation even though claimant had not looked for employment. A work search was excused since there was no evidence in the record that claimant had been told to go back to work by her doctor or otherwise released for that purpose.Although a causal relationship between an accident and disability must be shown within reasonable medical probability the causal connection can be proved by medical or lay testimony. It is not necessary for a physician to utter the magic words "reasonable medical probability" to support a finding of causal relationship if a combination of lay and medical evidence provides competent and substantial evidence of a causal relationship. Court also found a causal connection between the accident and resulting injury based upon the "logical cause rule".
