In Sandra Warren v. Five Star Senior Living and Broadspire Services, Inc. the E/C accepted compensability of a left knee strain, but denied continuing care following MMI for the exacerbation as not causally related. The parties offered the testimonies of their respective IMEs in support of their positions. Ultimately, the JCC accepted the opinions of the E/C expert over those of the claimant’s expert, and concluded the need for continuing treatment was claimant’s pre-existing degenerative arthritis. Requests for orthopedic evaluation and arthroscopic surgery DENIED.
