CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the applicant's case, affirming the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) finding of a compensable continuous trauma injury. The defendants argued that the applicant's misstatements on a DOT physical form negated her claim. However, the Board found substantial evidence supported the WCJ's decision, giving great weight to the judge's credibility findings. The WCJ determined that the applicant's testimony and medical reports established a compensable injury despite the conflicting DOT physical answers.
