CELINE ROUYA vs. SAVE MART SUPERMARKETS, CORVEL CORPORATION

The applicant appeals the WCJ's decision denying injury to psyche and other body parts, arguing the WCJ erred by not addressing her harassment claim and finding the personnel actions were in good faith. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to further study the issues, noting discrepancies in witness testimony and insufficient medical opinions on causation. The case is returned to the WCJ for further proceedings to develop the record, including obtaining clarified medical opinions on causation and further testimony. The dissenting commissioner would affirm the WCJ's decision, finding the personnel actions were legal and non-discriminatory, and applicant's harassment claims were not supported by objective evidence.
