City of Pompano Beach v. Sanders
415 So.2d 840, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jun 23, 1982)
Reasonable medical probability may be established by either medical or lay testimony. Although lay testimony cannot be used to establish a causal relationship within reasonable medical probability as to conditions and symptoms that are not readily observable it is of probative value in establishing the sequence of events actual inability or ability to perform work pain and similar facts which are within the actual knowledge and sensory experience of the claimant. In this case lay testimony was not acceptable in establishing a causal connection between the claimant's complaints and alleged injury especially in view of the fact that one doctor said the claimant's complaints were not related to the alleged accident.
