Elizabeth Iniguez vs. City and County of San Francisco

This case involves a workers' compensation applicant whose claim for industrial injury to her right eye was denied. The applicant sought reconsideration, arguing the administrative law judge erred in their finding. However, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, adopting the judge's report. The Board found that the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof, particularly regarding the causal relationship between her work environment and eye impairment, despite being alerted to the need for further development of evidence. Therefore, the applicant takes nothing by way of her claim.
