MARTIN TORTOLEDO vs. BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Martin Tortoledo's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) findings, giving great weight to the WCJ's credibility determination after observing the witness. No substantial evidence warranted rejecting the WCJ's credibility assessment. Additionally, the Board noted that a single physician's opinion can constitute substantial evidence, even if it conflicts with other medical opinions.
