Lindsay v. TVS Trucking Co., Claims Center
565 So.2d 864, 15 Fla. L. Week. D2086, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Aug 13, 1990)
Doctor testified that the claimant's medical condition was related to compensable accident. Judge determined that there was no causal relationship and questioned the credibility of the claimant. Court determined that causation of non-observable injuries is essentially a medical question. A Judge of Compensation Claims may not reject unrefuted medical testimony as to causation without a reasonable explanation for doing so. While there may be some reason to question claimant's credibility this had no relevancy in determining medical causation questions.
