CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Jeannie Lefevre's petition for reconsideration, upholding a judge's decision that her admitted left great toe injury did not cause subsequent injuries to her ankles, heels, knees, hips, or back, nor a cumulative trauma injury. The Board found Dr. Kornblum's opinion, which cited Lefevre's extensive pre-existing foot issues, was more persuasive than Dr. Capen's. Defendant's petition for reconsideration was dismissed as the issues raised were subsequently corrected by an Amended Findings and Award, from which they failed to seek further reconsideration.
