Faucher v. R.C.F. Developers
569 So.2d 794, 15 Fla. L. Week. D2543, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Oct 11, 1990)
A doctor's medical opinion cannot be disregarded by the JCC because the judge finds that the history given such doctor by the claimant was either false or incomplete unless appropriate questions are put to the doctor specifically inquiring about the effect of the false or omitted information on the doctor's previously expressed opinion. In order to reject the doctor's testimony as to the causal relationship between the claimant's problems and the alleged accident the doctor must be asked questions specifically inquiring whether his expressed opinion finding causal connection would be changed had he known about the claimant's prior problems.Court determined that JCC erred in admitting testimony of surveillance expert in prior workers' compensation case claimant was involved with.
