CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of a finding of no compensable psyche injury. The Board admonished applicant's attorney for disrespectful and procedurally improper filings, citing multiple violations of the Labor Code and Board rules. The WCJ's report, adopted by the Board, found the applicant's testimony lacked credibility and that actual events of employment did not predominantly cause the alleged psychiatric injury, as required by Labor Code section 3208.3. The WCJ also noted the lack of corroborating evidence for the hostile work environment claim and the PQME's opinion was not sufficiently clear on predominant causation by actual events.
