Manuel v. Amstaff
915 So. 2d 679
JCC erred in rejecting the opinion of an expert medical advisor, which had concluded that the claimant’s work injury was the major contributing cause of her major depression and pain disorder. The record on appeal did not contain competent and substantial evidence to support the determination of the JCC that clear and convincing evidence existed sufficient to reject the EMA opinion. Contradiction between the EMA and one of the disagreeing physicians is not, by itself, a reasonable basis for the JCC to reject the EMA’s opinion.
