Pedro Martinez vs. Casa Herrera, Inc., Liberty Mutual Insurance Company

This case involves a workers' compensation applicant seeking reconsideration of a finding of no industrial injury. The applicant argued that causation was not an issue and that psychiatric injury rules were not properly considered, also challenging the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) report. The Board denied reconsideration, finding that industrial causation was consistently disputed by the defendant. The applicant failed to provide substantial medical evidence to support industrial injury claims, while the AME's report was deemed substantial and supported the finding of no industrial injury.
