Meredith Ross & Bryan Gowdy win workers' compensation case in the 1st DCA

Creed & Gowdy, P.A. represented a City of Jacksonville firefighter/paramedic who filed a petition for workers' compensation benefits for authorization to treat with a cardiologist for his atrial fibrillation. The Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) granted the petition, but the City of Jacksonville appealed and argued the JCC had misapplied Florida's statutory presumption that a firefighter's heart disease is attributable to his employment as a firefighter. The First District Court of Appeal sided with the firefighter and affirmed the JCC.
