MARIELA TORRES vs. GARY SAKAKIHARA, ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY

In *Torres v. Sakakihara*, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The WCAB adopted the findings of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ), who properly relied on the opinion of an agreed medical evaluator (AME). The WCAB found no persuasive reason to disregard the AME's opinion, upholding the original decision.
