CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Camilo Morales's petition for reconsideration of a finding of no injury. The judge found the applicant lacked credibility, noting he failed to return to work after being asked for a doctor's note, despite claiming he needed the job and could perform modified duties. Medical reports were deemed unsubstantial due to a lack of signatures and potentially false history. The supervisor's credible testimony further supported the employer's denial of injury.
