Haga v. Clay Hyder Trucking Lines
397 So.2d 428, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Apr 28, 1981)
Court ruled that there was sufficient evidence in this case to warrant an order requiring employer/carrier to build a swimming pool for the claimant. In this case there was a conflict in the testimony of the treating physician as opposed to an examining physician and the court ruled that the treating physicians' testimony because of their familiarity with the case should have been accepted over an examining physician who had rendered an opinion without seeing the claimant.Although a physician's failure to examine the claimant and a physician's lack of expertise in the area in which he testifies does not prevent admission of the testimony those factors do go to the weight of the evidence.
