In Lorenzo Garcia v. Thomas Produce Company and Zenith Insurance Company in response to the pending TTD claim, the E/C defended claimant had reached MMI for his compensable rib contusion and the physician imposed “no-work” status was unrelated to the industrial injury. The JCC accepted the medical evidence establishing MMI as of June 2021. He further found claimant failed to prove the “no-work” status opinion rendered after MMI was causally related to the industrial injury. TTD benefits DENIED.
