The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Yvette McLamb's petition for reconsideration, affirming the finding that she did not sustain industrial injuries during her brief employment with United Parcel Service. Applicant argued that the medical evaluator's opinion on causation was equivocal and should be reconsidered in light of her trial testimony regarding pain symptoms during employment. The majority found the WCJ's report sufficient, while one commissioner dissented, believing the record should be further developed to allow the medical evaluator to clarify causation after reviewing the applicant's testimony.
