Home v. Sturms
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 26, 1983 · Booth, Smith, Wigginton
439 So. 2d 988; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 22737 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Home v. Sturms

Opinion of the Court

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., Judge.

The deputy’s order succinctly states, in regard to a Martin v. Carpenter defense, that evidence of a causal relationship between the concealed history and the otherwise compensable injury will be required. *989Here the carrier relied upon general knowledge for that nexus, which is not enough.

AFFIRMED. Higgins v. Trigil Repair, Inc., 436 So.2d 222 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983).

BOOTH and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
