Fields v. SOS Drivers, Inc.

24 FLW D1597

Physiatrists testified that claimant had reached maximum medical improvement and did not need chiropractic treatment. Claimant's attorney did not object to doctors' testimony that they were incompetent to testify on the issue of chiropractic care. Absent such an objection, the judge erred in determining that the doctors were not qualified to render opinions relevant to the issue of further chiropractic care. Case remanded to JCC to consider the issue of chiropractic treatment, given the opinions of the two physiatrists.
