The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Warner Bros.' Petition for Reconsideration. The employer sought to overturn a finding that the applicant, Kirk Cardenas, injured his neck in a fall. The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) report, which found the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) opinion on the neck injury to be substantial medical evidence. The ALJ reasoned that the AME's opinion, despite some gaps in medical records, was based on a reasonable medical probability and that Warner Bros. had not provided sufficient reason to reject it.
