Teleflex, Inc. v. Arndts

499 So.2d 45, 12 Fla. L. Week. 29, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Dec 22, 1986)

Lay testimony is legally insufficient to support a finding of causation where the medical condition involved is not readily observable. In this case lay testimony could not establish a causal connection between an accident and the claimant's back complaints where medical testimony related the claimant's injury to a prior back condition or to the natural degeneration of the claimant's back.
