What the panel ordered
Defendant's Petition for Reconsideration is denied.
Defendant seeks reconsideration of the Findings and Order issued November 24, 2025, which found applicant's psyche injury claim presumed compensable and defendant failed to rebut the presumption under Labor Code section 5402.
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The defendant failed to provide evidence discovered after the 90-day period to rebut the presumption of compensability under section 5402, and the medical evidence established industrial causation.
From the decision · page 4Here, defendant provided no such evidence. Defendant contends that applicant's failure to present substantial medical evidence of a psyche claim effectively rebuts the presumption of compensability under section 5402. (Petition, p. 2.) This is not the standard. Additionally, to the extent that defendant conflates compensability with the nature and extent of injury, we remind defendant that the issue of nature and extent of injury has yet to be determined. The medical reporting and deposition testimony of Dr. Davis, however, does establish industrial causation.
