Judy Vasquez vs. FIDELITY FINANCIAL, THE HARTFORD, administered by Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.

Here are the summaries for the two cases:

Vasquez v. Fidelity Financial:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the administrative law judge's decision that Judy Vasquez sustained 20% permanent disability for a cumulative trauma injury to her hands and wrists. The Board found that the Qualified Medical Evaluator reports relied upon by the judge constituted substantial medical evidence. Applicant's contention that the judge erred by not finding injury to her back was also rejected.

White v. ABC Design & Marketing, Inc.:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the administrative law judge's finding that Rosalie White failed to meet her burden of proof for an industrial injury. The judge found the applicant's testimony regarding injury to her psyche, headaches, stress, and right hand lacked credibility. The decision was based on inconsistencies in the applicant's account and a lack of credible evidence to support her claim of workplace-caused disability or need for medical treatment.
