Ferris v. Pick Kwik Food Stores, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
The claimant, Lois Ferris, appeals an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC), which denied her claim for indemnity benefits and authorization of psychiatric care based upon a finding that her psychiatric condition was not causally related to the
Having thoroughly reviewed the record, we hold that the overwhelming evidence supports the JCC’s determination that there is no causal connection between her industrial accident and her psychiatric condition under the evidentiary standard in effect before the 1994 amendments to section 440.09(1). We therefore need not reach the claimant’s argument that the 1994 amendments to sections 440.09(1) and 440.09(l)(a) were not applicable to her claim. We farther find that the JCC’s determination that the claimant sustained a 4% permanent impairment to her knee is supported by competent substantial evidence.
Accordingly, the order of the JCC is AFFIRMED.
