Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer, in four sentences:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the judge's decision that found no permanent disability. The applicant argued the judge improperly relied on Dr. Cook's medical reports, which she claimed lacked substantial evidence and admissibility. However, the Board adopted the judge's report, emphasizing the weight given to credibility findings and noting that Dr. Cook's reports were supported by other physicians' findings and subrosa video evidence. This video demonstrably challenged the applicant's claims of limitations, contradicting her testimony about needing wrist supports for routine activities.
