Summary

Adrienne Reyes, an Attorney Clerk II for the County of Orange, suffered an industrial injury on 12/23/2009 when an elevator she was riding malfunctioned and dropped. After multiple decisions developing the record, the WCJ found her injury extended to numerous body parts and resulted in 100% permanent disability, relying primarily on the vocational opinion of Laura Wilson over defense vocational expert Kelly Winn. Defendant petitioned for reconsideration, arguing the WCJ exceeded her powers, the evidence did not justify the award, and the finding was against public policy, citing Applied Materials v. WCAB. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report and denied reconsideration, giving great weight to the WCJ's credibility determination under Garza.
