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.
