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.
