Burns v. Hilton Enterprises

28 FLW D2106

JCC rejected opinion of expert medical adviser and improperly determined that statutory presumption of correctness, with regard to an EMA's opinion, was overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. There was nothing in the EMA's report or deposition that established bias or predisposition to disagreeing with the employer/carrier's independent medical examiner. Court determined that the EMA's report and deposition were a reasoned and thorough critique of the IME's evaluation of the claimant, apparently as comtemplated by Section 440.13(9)(b), Florida Statutes.
