CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Janine Calvin's petition for reconsideration of a decision finding she did not sustain a work-related injury. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's report, which found it improbable that the applicant sustained the alleged injury due to inconsistencies in her testimony. Specifically, the judge questioned the applicant's claim of being instructed to set up a tennis court on a rainy day when reporting for work, and also found her explanation for delayed reporting of the injury to be unconvincing. The judge gave great weight to the credibility assessment of the witnesses.
