KIMBERLY WESLEY BOSTON vs. COUNTY OF ALAMEDA, SEDGWICK CMS

The Appeals Board rescinded a prior award, finding insufficient medical evidence to support industrial causation for the applicant's gastrointestinal injuries. Dr. Hammerman's opinion was deemed not substantial medical evidence as he did not adequately explain how he reached a causation conclusion without an initially recommended endoscopy. The case is returned to the trial level for further medical development of the record regarding gastrointestinal complaints. The Board emphasized its duty to ensure substantial justice and develop undeveloped matters.
