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. (statutory change)
