957 So. 2d 694 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2007)

Opinion

No. 1D06-2719.

May 17, 2007. Rehearing Denied June 13, 2007.

An appeal from the Judge of Compensation Claims. Timothy M. Basquill, Judge.

Steven R. Adler of Hayes, Schloss Alcocer, P.A., Palm Beach Gardens, for Appellants.

Bill McCabe, Longwood; and Gerry A. Rosenthal, West Palm Beach, for Appellee.


We find no error in the Judge of Compensation Claims' (JCC) application of the firefighter's presumption pursuant to section 112.18, Florida Statutes (2005). We also find no merit to the employer/carrier's contention that the JCC required the employer to identify one single risk factor solely causative of claimant's condition in order to rebut the presumption of section 112.18. We, therefore, affirm.

WOLF, DAVIS, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
