City of Tampa v. Green
390 So.2d 1220, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Dec 02, 1980)
Employer/carrier sought to defend this W/C claim on the defense of intoxication. As a part of that defense they sought to introduce medical reports by the hospital as to the blood alcohol content. The lab technician was not available to testify and Section 92.36 F.S. was sought to be used to introduce this evidence as a business record. The court said under certain circumstances the blood alcohol test could be used as a business record but only if the Deputy Commissioner determined that the method and time of preparation of the blood alcohol test was such as to justify its admission. In this case the blood alcohol test was determined not to be admissible.
