CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration for applicant Lulu Montoya. The Board adopted the WCJ's findings that Montoya failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that actual employment events were predominant in causing her alleged psychiatric injury. Because an industrial injury was not established, her claim for penalties under Labor Code section 132a for discrimination was also defeated. The prior Findings and Order affirming this outcome were therefore affirmed.
