Case No. ADJ4050950RegularApr 09, 2009
EdME PILONA vs. THE EDWARD THOMAS HOSPITALITY CORP., ARCH INSURANCE GROUP
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and reversed a judge's finding of industrial injury. The applicant's testimony regarding a back and knee injury at work was found to be inconsistent and not credible, especially when contrasted with employer evidence. This evidence included a supervisor's report and an email stating the applicant injured his knee while laying tile at another job. Ultimately, the Board determined the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof for industrial causation.
