ANAID AYVAZYAN vs. ST. JOHN KNITS, DISCOVER RE, Administered By CCMSI

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board affirmed the WCJ's decision, finding the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) report constituted substantial evidence despite defendant's arguments against it. The Board also addressed the defendant's contention regarding the exclusion of Dr. Uejo's testimony, clarifying it was properly admitted but afforded little weight as a rebuttal witness on rating, not as a medical expert. Consequently, the defendant's petition was denied, upholding the original findings.
