This case concerns a worker's compensation claim for psychiatric injury due to continuous trauma from 1998-2012. The defendant sought to overturn the finding that the injury arose out of employment, arguing the medical expert's reports lacked substantial evidence due to alleged inconsistencies and incomplete history. The Appeals Board affirmed the original award, finding the expert's opinions on industrial causation were sufficiently consistent and based on an adequate medical history. The Board found the defendant's arguments failed to undermine the expert's conclusions regarding predominant industrial causation.
