RUTH CORONA vs. AUTUMN YEARS AT OJAI; PATRIOT RISK SERVICES

is a case in which Ruth Corona, a caregiver, filed a Petition for Reconsideration after the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board issued a Findings and Award in favor of the defendants, Autumn Years at Ojai and Patriot Risk Services. The Petition for Reconsideration was denied due to the faulty verification, as well as the Court's finding that the applicant's testimony was neither credible nor reliable. The Court found that the evidence presented at trial did not support a finding of a specific injury to the applicant's hip or spine.
