Johnson v. Seacrest Management, Inc.
587 So.2d 621, 16 Fla. L. Week. D2695, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Oct 14, 1991)
Two doctors testified that they could not state the cause of the claimant's eye problems were related to a compensable accident although possibly there could be a causal connection. A third doctor testified that there was a causal connection. Court determined that JCC erred in failing to find causal connection. The judge did not give any explanation for rejecting the only opinion based on reasonable medical probability that there was a causal connection between the accident and the resulting eye injury. The rejection of uncontroverted medical testimony without a reasonable explanation is an abuse of discretion.
