Travelodge v. Pierre-Gilles
18 FLW D2254, October 15, 1993
Generally, a Judge of Compensation Claims is not required to explain why he or she has accepted the testimony of one doctor over that of others. However, an explanation is required when the reason for the choice is not apparent from the record, or it appears that the judge has overlooked or ignored evidence in the record. When reasons are required, they must be supported by the record; and must logically support the decision. In this case, the choice of one doctor's opinion over that of another was not apparent from the record. In addition, it appeared that the judge had either overlooked or ignored the evidence of record. Accordingly, case remanded for additional determinations.
