Crawford & Company and Fleetwood Homes of America v. Baxla
25 FLW D50
JCC erred in admitting into evidence medical testimony
from a physician who was not a medical advisor, an IME,
or an authorized treating physician. Court determined,
however, that error was harmless since the testimony of
a physician who was authorized as an IME was
essentially the same testimony given by the doctor
whose testimony was not admissible. Court affirmed
JCC's order based upon competent and substantial
evidence, independent of the erroneously admitted
testimony. Court cautioned that future improper
admissions into evidence would in all likelihood not be
considered harmless and would result in reversal.
