Alpizar v. Star Styled Dancing Company

808 So.2d 286, 27 FLW D522

Court determined that JCC erred in admitting into evidence deposition of physician. The doctor was not an authorized treating physician and was not a designated expert medical advisor (EMA). He did not qualify as an independent medical examiner (IME) because his medical fee exceeded the maximum amount authorized by statute. The employer/carrier who had sought to admit into evidence the deposition of the doctor did not show that the statute limiting testimony to certain qualified witnesses deprived them of any constitional right in the presentation of their evidence.
