Lerman v. Broward County Bd. of County Com'rs
574 So.2d 229, 16 Fla. L. Week. 308, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jan 25, 1991)
JCC failed to articulate reasons for accepting examining psychiatrist's opinion over opinions of claimant's treating physicians with respect to whether claimant was permanently and totally disabled.An employee shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred for remedial treatment or care unless the employer was requested to provide such treatment or failed to do so or unless the nature of the injure required such treatment and the employer having knowledge of such injury failed to provide same. Court determined in this case that claimant did not ask the employer to provide the psychiatric care and such treatment was not of such nature that employer/carrier would be charged with notice of the claimant's need for such care.
