CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petitioner's request for reconsideration of a prior decision. The original decision found that the applicant, Darren Bean, failed to prove an industrial injury sustained at Las Posas Country Club. This denial was based on the judge's report, which adopted the findings of fact and credibility assessments. The applicant's petition argued errors in relying on defense medical opinions and failing to apply Labor Code section 3202. However, the Board found the applicant lacked credibility due to inconsistent medical histories regarding prior injuries, and thus his treating physician's opinion was not substantial evidence.
