Poorman v. Muncy & Bartle Painting

433 So.2d 1371, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jul 13, 1983)

Where an injury is shown and the evidence presents a sufficently logical explanation of a causal connection and relationship between the accident and the injury the burden shifts to the employer/carrier to show a more logical cause. In this case the DC held a knee injury to be compensable based upon the logical cause rule.The appellate court is in just as good of a vantage point as the DC in interpreting deposition evidence.
