641 So. 2d 514; 1994 Fla. App. LEXIS 8476; 1994 WL 463508 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

MICKLE, Judge.

We conclude that the record contains competent substantial evidence to support the order of the judge of compensation claims.

AFFIRMED.

BARFIELD, J., concurs. MINER, J., dissents with written opinion.

Dissenting Opinion

MINER, Judge,

dissenting.

Because I believe the claimant failed to establish by expert testimony a causal con-*515neetion between his work related accident and his complaints of hip pain, I respectfully dissent. At best, Dr. Bercaw’s overall testimony is vague, ambiguous and inconclusive, so much so that I believe it to be wholly insufficient to support a finding of causal relationship.
