CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board found the petition to be skeletal and unsupported by specific record references or legal authority. The applicant's request to further develop the medical record was also denied, as discovery closed at the mandatory settlement conference, and she had ample opportunity to cure evidentiary deficiencies prior to trial. The Board adopted the judge's reasoning that the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof and acted contrary to her own interests.
