Melton v. Hughes Market: The Court of Appeal denied defendant's writ of review, after the WCAB affirmed the trial judges finding of 100% permanent disability.

WCAB, September 3, 2019

The Court of Appeal denied defendant's writ of review, after the WCAB affirmed the trial judges finding of 100% permanent disability. Notwithstanding medical reporting identifying non-industrial apportionable factors, it was shown that there was no legally valid evidence that those pre-existing factors impacted the consequences of the work injury.
