• ADJ16439951 · 2026-05-29 · Marina Del Rey District OfficeAOE/COEapplicant prevailed

  Determinative passage · p.3Turning to the merits, the WCJ found industrial injury based on the reporting and testimony of primary treating physician Marc Nehorayan, M.D., who opined that applicant's psychiatric injury was predominantly caused by actual events of employment. We note that since applicant's injury resulted from being a victim of or direct exposure to a violent act a finding that defendant does not challenge it need only be proved the actual events of employment were a substantial cause of the injury. (Cal. Labor Code, § 3208.3, subd. (b)(2).)

  The WCAB affirmed the finding of industrial injury to the psyche based on substantial medical evidence, including Dr. Nehorayan's opinion that the injury was predominantly caused by actual events of employment, and rejected defendant's argument about DSM edition used for diagnosis.

  Determinative passage · p.2As explained below, applicant's refusal of defendant's modified work offer was reasonable, given that it was not clearly communicated to the applicant how the offer incorporated modified duties commensurate with her condition.

  Applicant's refusal of modified work was reasonable because the work restrictions and modified duties were not adequately communicated to her, so she was entitled to temporary disability benefits from September 12, 2022 to October 3, 2023.
