William Wong vs. The Home Depot, Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., Helmsman Management Services

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied William Wong's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) report which found Wong's testimony lacked credibility due to inconsistencies regarding his legal and substance abuse history. While the WCJ acknowledged a potential psychotic break, it was deemed not industrially caused, thus rebutting the presumption of compensability.
