MARK ROGERS vs. ALL ABOUT FLOORS, INC., PREFERRED EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY and STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND; BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES A.K.A WESTERN FLOORING INSTALLATIONS, PSI

This case involves Mark Rogers' claim for workers' compensation benefits for back injuries sustained while employed by All About Floors, Inc. and Barrett Business Services. The applicant alleged cumulative trauma injury, but medical evidence from Dr. Einbund was inconsistent. Despite Dr. Einbund's initial uncertainty and later inability to state with reasonable medical certainty that a cumulative trauma injury occurred, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied reconsideration. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report, which found the applicant's testimony credible and supported by medical reports, thus deeming the medical opinion substantial evidence to uphold the findings of fact.
