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.
