Clarison International v. Rose

23 FLW D1797

No medical opinion other than that of a medical advisor appointed by the JCC or Division of Workers' Compensation, an independent medical examiner, or an authorized treating provider is admissible in proceedings before the JCC. In this instance, testifying doctor did not qualify under any of these designations to testify. However, when the doctor's deposition was taken, the employer/carrier did not object to the qualifications of the doctor to testify. Accordingly, any objection to his testimony had been waived. The claimant had not previously designated an independent medial examiner and the court determined that objecting to the doctor's testimony at the time of the hearing for the first time came too late. The employer/carrier's objection in the pre-trial stipulation did not have the effect of waiving the objection.
