Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Section 440.15(l)(e) provides: 440.15 Compensation for disability.— Compensation for disability shall be paid to the employee, subject to the limits provided in s. 440.12(2), as follows: (1) PERMANENT TOTAL DISABILITY.— * * * * * ⅜ (e)l. The employer’s or carrier’s right to conduct vocational evaluations or testing pursuant to s. 440.491 continues even after the employee has been accepted or adjudicated as entitled to compensation under this chapter. This right includes, but is not limited to, instances in which such evaluations or tests are recommended by a treating physician or independent medical-examination physician, instances warranted by a change in the employee’s medical condition, or instances in which the employee appears to be making appropriate progress in recuperation. This right may not be exercised more than once every calendar year. 2. The carrier must confirm the scheduling of the vocational evaluation or testing in writing, and must notify employee’s counsel, if any, at least 7 days before the date on which vocational evaluation or testing is scheduled to occur. 3. Pursuant to an order of the judge of compensation claims, the employer or carrier may withhold payment of benefits for permanent total disability or supplements for any period during which the employee willfully fails or refuses to appear without good cause for the scheduled vocational evaluation or testing.”
