Strickler v. Florida Power Corporation
20 FLW D1926
The JCC has the discretion to judge the credibility of
witnesses and reject testimony which he disbelieves.
In this instance, the judge rejected the claimant's
testimony that he was on the way to a doctor's office
for treatment related to his industrial accident and
determined that the claimant's automobile accident was
not an accident or injury arising out of or in the
course and scope of his employment. This finding
affirmed on appeal.
