CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an applicant's claim for injury to his internal systems and psyche. The WCJ's report, adopted by the Board, found that medical opinions from Dr. Jonathan C. Green and Dr. James E. O'Brien were compelling. These opinions concluded that the applicant's internal problems pre-existed the injury and were not industrial, and that no industrial psychiatric injury occurred. The WCJ's credibility findings, based on applicant's inconsistent testimony and a malingering test, were given great weight.
