California Court of Appeal
Sonoma State Univ. v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd., A113590
Determination that claimant police dispatcher had satisfied her burden of establishing a compensable industrial injury by proving her psychological injury was predominantly caused by actual events of employment is annulled as a claimant's psychiatric injury satisfies the standard for compensability set forth in Labor Code section 3208.3 only if it is proven that events of employment were predominant as to all causes combined of the psychiatric disability taken as a whole.
