Kimmins Corporation v. Collier

20 FLW D2619

Order of judge requiring that the employer/carrier provide the claimant with an independent medical examination at the employer/carrier's expense was not a departure from the essential requirements of law. The claimant is not required to exhaust his administrative remedies in dispute resolution process of the employee assistance and ombudsman office prior to filing a request for an IME to be paid by the employer/carrier. The Florida Workers' Compensation Rules of Appellate Procedure do not provide for an appeal of a non-final order. The court in this instance however elected to treat this appeal as a Petition for Writ of Certiorari.
