Florida State Hospital v. Heatrice

535 So. 2d 619, 13 Fla. L. Weekly 2653, 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 5460, 1988 WL 130072

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This cause is before us on appeal of an order finding claimant suffered a permanent impairment following injuries received in a work accident. After careful consideration, we affirm that ruling. However, we remand for the sole purpose of allowing the deputy commissioner to take further evidence to assign a permanent impairment rating in accordance with Section 440.-15(3)(a) 1 a-b, Florida Statutes (1987).
