The applicant filed a claim alleging an industrial COVID infection on November 18, 2020. The claim was denied based on lack of medical and factual evidence. After deposing the applicant and obtaining a non-industrial PQME report, Applicant’s counsel tried on numerous occasions to get the PQME to change his opinion and procure favorable medical evidence from the applicant’s primary care physician.
Following trial which included testimony from the Applicant, the Court sided with all of defendant’s arguments, and we prevailed by receiving a take-nothing from Judge Acosta at the San Jose WCAB.
