ANTONIA CONTRERAS vs. JCS EL SEGUNDO, INC dba BURGER KING, Permissibly Self-Insured, CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT MUTUAL BENEFIT CORPORATION, Administered by AMERICAN CLAIMS MANAGEMENT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's petition for removal and denied their petition for reconsideration. The defendant argued the WCJ erred in finding the applicant sustained an industrial injury, claiming reliance on inadmissible reports. The WCAB found the WCJ properly admitted the reports, which constituted substantial medical evidence supporting the finding of injury AOE/COE. The WCAB also admonished the defendant for their inappropriate tone in the petition.
