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.
