RANDY EISTER vs. TCI TRANSPORTATION, PROTECTIVE INSURANCE INDIANAPOLIS

This case involves a truck driver, Randy Eister, who filed a workers' compensation claim for back and chest injuries allegedly sustained on October 7, 2012. The claim was denied, and Eister was terminated for cause prior to filing. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied Eister's petition for reconsideration. The WCJ found Eister's testimony not credible, citing inconsistencies and a lack of corroboration for his alleged injury. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, emphasizing the deference given to the judge's credibility findings.
