Sanlando Reprographics v. Vidimos

545 So.2d 397, 14 Fla. L. Week. 1401, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jun 09, 1989)

Court determined that deputy commissioner erred in requiring the employer/carrier to provide the claimant with an additional unclaimed medical evaluation where there was no conflict in the medical evidence. An additional medical evaluation may be ordered by the deputy commissioner pursuant to Section 440.25(3)(b) Florida Statutes in cases involving a conflict in the medical evidence. However there was no conflict in the medical evidence in this case. The deputy commissioner can order such an evaluation under the deputy commissioner's investigatory authority; however the cost of this additional evaluation may not be charged to the employer/carrier.
