DEVERIE LAUTENSCHLAGER vs. HARBOR VIEW HOLDINGS, TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award, finding insufficient evidence to support the administrative law judge's determination of a compensable psychiatric injury. The Board held that the opinions of the applicant's orthopedist and QME orthopedist were not substantial evidence, lacking proper psychiatric diagnosis and exceeding their expertise. The case was returned to the trial level for further development of the record regarding the psyche injury.
