The WCAB affirmed the WCJ's decisions denying applicant's workers' compensation claims. In one case, the WCJ found the applicant's claim barred by collateral estoppel due to an arbitration decision, and the WCAB agreed the applicant had an adequate opportunity to litigate. In the second case, the WCAB upheld the WCJ's finding that the applicant failed to prove injury AOE/COE, rejecting claims of post-traumatic memory issues and insufficient rebuttal evidence. The WCAB gave great weight to the WCJ's credibility determination based on observing witnesses.
