CompFox AI Summary

Defendant sought reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings of Fact, Award, and Order issued on June 12, 2025, which awarded applicant temporary and permanent disability. The defendant contested the retroactive disability awards, the calculation of the average weekly wage, and the admissibility of medical reports by Dr. Michael Einbund, given a later date of injury finding. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, adopting the WCJ's report, denied the petition for reconsideration. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings regarding the disability awards, the applicant's average weekly wage, and the admissibility of Dr. Einbund's reports, reasoning that the claim's injury period predated January 1, 2005, making the old procedural rules applicable.
