MARY LOPEZ vs. GRANADA HILLS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, SAFETY NATIONAL CASUALTY COMPANY

Here's a summary of the case in four sentences for a lawyer:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to further study the medical evidence regarding applicant Mary Lopez's claims of psyche injury and fibromyalgia stemming from an admitted neck and back injury. Defendants contended the WCJ relied on insufficient medical evidence, specifically Dr. Levine's fibromyalgia diagnosis due to an inadequate medical history and a psychiatric report where the applicant withheld suicidal ideation from the evaluating physician. The Board found the existing medical record inadequate to establish fibromyalgia or psychiatric injury and rescinded the prior findings. The matter was returned to the trial level for further development of the medical record, potentially through Agreed Medical Examiners or an Independent Medical Examiner.
