Case No. ADJ1139787 (SRO 0139011) ADJ1497360 (SRO 0140505)RegularApr 26, 2013
DANETTE ELLSWORTH vs. SANTA ROSA CITY SCHOOLS, REDWOOD EMPIRE SCHOOLS INSURANCE GROUP
In this case, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board adopted and incorporated the reasoning of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). Crucially, the WCAB gave "great weight" to the WCJ's credibility findings, a standard established in *Garza v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd.* The Board also considered supplemental pleadings before issuing its final denial.
