Lakeside Health Care v. Fox
584 So.2d 627, 16 Fla. L. Week. D2180, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Aug 09, 1991)
Claimant not at MMI but doctor indicated claimant could return to work in light employment. Claimant, however, testified that she could not work because of continuous pain. Court determined that where claimant testifies that pain and immobility prevented her from working and this is in conflict with the physician's opinion that the claimant was physically able to work, the tryor of fact has a right to accept the opinion of the physician or reject it and to base his conclusions on the testimony of the claimant. Temporary partial benefits awarded to claimant notwithstanding claimant's lack of work search.
