Olsen v. Wellcraft Marine Corp.
540 So.2d 878, 14 Fla. L. Week. 599, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Mar 07, 1989)
DC rejected psychiatric testimony that claimant's psychiatric condition was related to compensable accident. The basis of the rejection was that the psychiatrist giving such testimony did not have a complete history of the claimant's prior psychiatric problems. Court determined such rejection of testimony was error. Although the doctors had not at the time of their examination been provided with a accurate history of the claimant's prior psychiatric problems none stated that their opinions as to the causal relationship between the accident and emotional problems would have changed had they been fully apprised of the claimant's history.
