LILIAN BERNABEL vs. DMS FACILITY SERVICES, TWIN CITIES FIRE INSURANCE/THE HARTFORD, administered by CCMSI

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Lilian Bernabel's petition for reconsideration of the arbitrator's finding of no injury AOE/COE. The Board adopted the arbitrator's report, which found the applicant's testimony regarding the injury and its reporting to be inconsistent and not credible. Furthermore, the petition was dismissed for lack of verification, a defect that was not cured despite notice. The arbitrator also found insufficient substantial medical evidence to support the claim of industrial injury.
