Case No. ADJ6751877 ADJ6997475RegularNov 17, 2010
BLANCA SUSANA DE LA VEGA vs. SONY CORPORATION OF AMERICA
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the judge's report, which found the applicant was not entitled to spinal surgery based on the Agreed Medical Examiner's opinion. The applicant also failed to prove a new injury occurred on March 13, 2009, as evidence indicated a flare-up of a prior injury. The Board found the Agreed Medical Examiner's opinion constituted substantial evidence and saw no reason to deviate from it.
