CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board affirmed the finding that the applicant did not sustain claimed injuries, upholding the administrative law judge's decision that the applicant take nothing. Crucially, the applicant failed to provide evidence that a claim form was properly filed with the employer, thus not triggering the 90-day presumption of compensability under Labor Code section 5402. The Board also found any error in admitting denial letters was harmless, as they were not necessary to the conclusion.
