Here is a summary of the case for a lawyer, in four sentences:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision that found Milvia Rodas sustained an injury arising out of and in the course of employment. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the applicant's testimony credible regarding an incident where a trapeze lift's screws loosened, causing her to hold a patient. The WCJ also relied on medical reports that were not refuted by defense evidence. Finally, the Board upheld the finding that a post-termination defense was inapplicable as the applicant was suspended, not terminated.
