CompFox AI Summary
In Betty Dove v. City of Los Angeles, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the findings of the Administrative Law Judge (WCJ), who determined that the applicant's employment was not the predominant cause of her alleged psychiatric injury. The WCJ's credibility determination, based on observing witness demeanor, was given great weight and was not overcome by substantial contrary evidence. Therefore, the Board found no "actual event of employment" to support the claim, as required by Labor Code §3208.3.
