Montero v. Department of Transp.

570 So.2d 1015, 15 Fla. L. Week. D2632, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Oct 22, 1990)

Judge ordered claimant to be evaluated by doctor selected by employer/carrier. The claimant had objected to the evaluation by this particular doctor. Court determined that judge erred in ordering the IME without a determination that it was in the claimant's best interest to be evaluated by this particular doctor. Court followed the same procedure in the employer/carrier's original offer of medical care to situations where an independent medical examination was being requested.
