Frederick v. United Airlines
22 FLW D423
Competent and substantial evidence supported the JCC's
factual finding that the claimant lacked credibility.
Even when certain medical testimony is presented to the
JCC by deposition, the appellate court rejected the
suggestion that it was in as good a position as the JCC
to interpret and weigh such testimony. The case cannot
be retried on appeal by the appellate court reviewing
again depositional testimony. The standard of review
for factual determinations in workers' compensation
cases, even when the facts are presented in whole or in
part by a deposition, is whether competent and
substantial evidence supports the JCC's findings and
not whether the record contains evidence which could be
interpreted to support arguments rejected.
