MARIA BARRERA vs. PRESTIGE CLEANERS, INC., PROCENTURY INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Maria Barrera's petition for reconsideration. The Board affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's (WCALJ) decision that Barrera failed to prove her claimed injuries arose out of and occurred in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The WCALJ properly weighed the medical evidence, finding the opinion of QME Dr. Lipson, who found no evidence of industrial injury, to be more persuasive than the treating physicians' reports. Barrera's petition did not meet procedural requirements and lacked substantial evidence to overturn the WCALJ's findings.
