Photo Electronics Corp. v. Glick
398 So.2d 900, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., May 04, 1981)
A prima facie case of lost earning capacity must include a showing of a causal connection between the loss of employment at pre-accident wages and the industrial accident. In this case the claimant returned to his former position of employment but was thereafter fired because the position was abolished. He was thereafter unable to find employment and the court determined that there was a lack of causal connection shown between the injury and the resulting inability to find employment.(First Opinion) Court ruled that a doctor cannot testify as to disability but only as to impairment.
