Motiva v. Allain
803 So.2d 912, 27 FLW D161
There were conflicting medical opinions as to whether
the claimant's continued medical manifestations from
her work related injury were self inflicted. JCC
accepted the opinion of one physician on this issue to
the exclusion of the other medical opinion. The JCC is
authorized to accept one doctor's testimony over that
of another but his reasons for doing so must be
supported by the record. The JCC gave no reason for
rejecting the testimony of one doctor and accepting the
opinions of another. Court remanded case for further
consideration by the JCC.
