Nelson v. Hebrew Home for Aged
276 So.2d 468, (Fla., Apr 04, 1973)
The test for determining the causal relationship between work related accidents and an injury is one of reasonable medical probability not possibility. Doctor's testimony was interpreted by the court to be based on reasonable probability and not possibility. The doctor testifying admitted that he ordinarily did not do workers' compensation cases and was unfamiliar with the terms used in workers' compensation. However, the court in reviewing the totality of his testimony, determined that his testimony was indeed based upon probabilities and not possibilities.
