Nelson & Co. v. Holtzclaw
566 So.2d 307, 15 Fla. L. Week. D2073, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Aug 08, 1990)
Court determined that there was an absence of competent and substantial evidence that the claimant's shoulder pain and post-traumatic neurosis were causally connected to her industrial accident.In initial hearing court determined that claimant's psychiatric problems were not related to compensable accident. Thereafter another claim was filed seeking benefits as a result of the psychiatric problems for periods of times subsequent to the initial period considered in the first hearing. Court determined that absent grounds for modification proceedings the claimant could not assert claim for benefits based on psychiatric problems where there was a prior determination that such difficulties were not related to the accident. This is unlike a claim for wage loss benefits which for one period may have been denied because of no showing of a causal connection between the injury and the benefits due for a particular period of time.
