CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a WCJ's finding that actual employment events on two separate dates substantially caused the applicant's psychiatric injury. The defendant, County of Sacramento, sought reconsideration, arguing that separate claims could not be combined to meet the predominant cause threshold. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning and upheld the original award. The decision confirms that multiple employment events, even from distinct claims, can collectively establish industrial causation for a psychiatric injury.
