Arand Const. Co. v. Dyer
592 So.2d 276, 16 Fla. L. Week. D3093, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Dec 13, 1991)
In reversing permanent total finding, court determined that judge erred in basing causal connection between the claimant's disability and accident on the claimant's testimony alone. Although lay testimony is of probative value in establishing the sequence of events, actual inability or ability to perform work, pain and similar factors within the actual knowledge of the claimant, testimony cannot be used to establish a causal relationship between the accident and the claimant's symptoms. Causal connection must be based on medical testimony.
