Ardmore Farms, Inc. v. Squires
395 So.2d 268, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Mar 13, 1981)
The question as to whether a claimant has reached MMI is essentially a medical question the most persuasive evidence of which is expert testimony. A claimant's testimony may be considered on the question but it cannot replace the treating physician's expert opinion as to when temporary disability ends and permanent disability begins. The question of when a claimant reaches MMI should not be confused with the question of a claimant's ability to return to work in some capacity which is a mixed question involving both medical evidence and the claimant's own testimony.
