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.
