CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed the administrative law judge's (WCJ) decision denying a lien claimant's claim. The WCAB found that the lien claimant failed to prove the applicant sustained an injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The WCAB adopted the WCJ's reasoning, determining that the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) report, which found no industrial injury, constituted substantial evidence. The WCAB also addressed and rejected the lien claimant's arguments regarding the AME's report, the primary treating physician's reports, applicant's reporting of injuries, statute of limitations, and due process violations, finding them unsupported by the record.
