Regal Marine Industries v. Dunkel

642 So.2d 99

Court determined that judge erred in accepting IME doctor's opinion as to permanency related to a compensable accident and rejecting treating physician's opinion. Case remanded to JCC for a determination as to why the judge ruled in the manner that he did. Although a JCC generally does not need to explain when he accepts the testimony of one doctor and rejects the testimony of another doctor, he must state his reasons when 1) the reason for the finding in the order is not apparent from the record or 2) it appears that the JCC has overlooked or ignored evidence in the record.
