Lindsley Home Care Centers v. Fuster
413 So.2d 810, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Apr 29, 1982)
DC relied on claimant's account of injuries in answering the mixed question of medicine and subjective complaints in determining the degree of the claimant's disability. The DC can rely on such testimony when the issue does not require medical expertise but rather lies within the actual knowledge of the claimant or is readily observable by lay people. The issue in this case is whether the injury is so observable. The claimant's bare complaints of continued pain so that the claimant feels unable to work is not the sort of injury that is so observable.
