Turner v. Carl Blanchard Plastering, Associated Industries

590 So.2d 1025, 16 Fla. L. Week. D3098, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Dec 13, 1991)

Judge of Compensation Claims erred by accepting non-treating physician's testimony over that of the treating physician without explaining his reasons for rejecting the treating physician's testimony. The judge must state reasons for accepting one doctor's opinion over that of others when:1) the reason for the finding in the order is not apparent from the record or 2) it appears that the judge of compensation claims has overlooked or ignored evidence in the record.
