Under the Workmen's Compensation Act, the Industrial Accident Commission can receive physicians' reports as evidence. (In Hart v. Industrial Acc. Commission of Cal., an automobile mechanic injured on the job was denied workers’ compensation based on insufficient evidence (i.e. the statement of the examining physician) that his injury was caused by the work incident. The mechanic appealed the decision, but the court found in favor of the Commission and affirmed the Commission’s decision.)
