Kerr v. City of Palm Bay / PMA Insurance

HR Law Cases
(First District Court of Appeal)(Bill Rogner)(9-8-21) Per Curiam affirmed/no opinion. The claimant appealed the JCC’s denial of compensability. At trial, he argued that going to a doctor two days in a row, getting his eyes dilated, and receiving an eye injection established disability. The claimant chose the first day  for the accident date, but the only thing that occurred on that date was a consult.  The claimant also worked ten hours that day. On Day two (not the accident date) the claimant’s eyes were dilated,  he received  an injection and he called out without a doctor’s note. On Day Three and beyond the claimant  was working 100% full duty, and thus the JCC found no disability. Kerr Appellate Decision – PCA / No Written Opinion
