Ronald Lawrence vs. John Muir Health Permissibly Self-insured Adjusted By Tristar Risk Management

is a case in which Ronald Lawrence, the applicant, is challenging a decision issued by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The decision denied Lawrence's claim of injury to his back on 12/21/11, which was disputed by John Muir Health, the defendant. The Workers' Compensation Judge found that Lawrence was not credible and his claim of injury was denied. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration, citing the Judge's finding on credibility and the lack of evidence to support Lawrence's claim.
