Executive Summary
The California Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit against Corvel Corp. and its claims adjuster, Rob Maag, in which plaintiff Brianna Davis alleged they conspired to fraudulently deny her workers’ compensation benefits through false medical reports. The court ruled that Davis’s claims fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the workers’ compensation system and are therefore barred from civil court, representing a legal win for Corvel.
