H & A Frank's Const., Inc. v. Mendoza

582 So.2d 780, 16 Fla. L. Week. D1860, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Jul 17, 1991)

Court determined that JCC erred in accepting chiropractic testimony over that of three medical doctors. JCC's order was deficient based on the JCC's failure to articulate valid reasons for rejecting the testimony of the other four medical doctors in favor of accepting the one chiropractic testimony. The length of treatment by the chiropractor is not a valid reason in this case for accepting the chiropractor's testimony over that of the other doctors. On two occasions the claimant ceased using a particular doctor when that doctor indicated he had no impairment and should return to work.
