Wiley v. Southeast Erectors, Inc.
573 So.2d 946, 16 Fla. L. Week. 204, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jan 15, 1991)
Court determined that judge erred in finding that the claimant failed to prove causal connection between her pulmonary condition and employment. As a welder the claimant had been exposed to a silica laden product and claimant's history indicated that she had not suffered from restrictive pulmonary problems prior to such exposure. In addition she testified that after leaving employer's business for a short period of time her respiratory problems improved. The medical evidence supported the finding that there was a causal connection between the pulmonary difficulties and the exposure to the chemical on the job.
