CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant argued that the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) erred by relying on a medical report that omitted a prior injury history. The Board gave great weight to the ALJ's credibility determination and found no substantial evidence to reject it. The ALJ's reasoning, adopted by the Board, concluded the omission of a 16-year-old, settled injury did not render the medical opinion on cumulative trauma non-substantial for the current claim.
