Decks, Inc. of Florida v. Wright

389 So.2d 1074, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Nov 04, 1980)

Disability within the meaning of the W/C Act means an incapacity to work due to a compensable accident. The claimant must establish a causal relationship between the accident and his disability based upon reasonable medical probability. This can be established by lay or medical testimony. However lay testimony is not sufficient in all instances.
