Howard v. Green's Tractor Co.
290 So.2d 46, (Fla., Dec 19, 1973)
Court determined that there was sufficient medical evidence to determine that there was a causal connection between the claimant's compensable heart attack and the claimant's resulting death. It is not the function of the appellate court to re-weigh the evidence to see if the appellate court agrees with the judge in determining if there is a causal connection between the death and the heart attack. Rather, the appellate court's function is to determine if there is competent and substantial evidence to support the judge's decision. Court determined that medical evidence, although somewhat nebulous, still was sufficient to support a finding of causal connection between the heart attack and the resulting death.
