Lucila Martinez, vs. Manpower Of San Diego; Transcontinental Insurance Company,
(SDO 0329173) is a case in which Lucila Martinez, the applicant, sought reconsideration of a Findings and Award issued by a workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). The WCJ found that Martinez did not sustain an industrial injury to her psyche as a result of her admitted August 27, 2004 injury to her neck and back. Martinez argued that the WCJ erred in finding her claim of injury to her psyche was barred by the six month employment provision of Labor Code section 3208.3(d). The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition for reconsideration, affirming the WCJ’s Findings and Award.
