Hess v. WCAB (Dept. of Social Services)
Petitioner petitions this court for a writ of review to determine the lawfulness of a decision of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denying her claim for benefits based on insufficient evidence of an industrial injury. Petitioner claims that the evidence was not properly evaluated because the physicians had opposing medical opinions and unreasonable inferences were made by the Respondent. The court states that a relevant and considered opinion of one physician, though inconsistent, may constitute substantial evidence. Court denies the petition.
