CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of an administrative law judge's decision. The judge had found the applicant sustained an industrial back injury but not to his lower extremities, and awarded no permanent disability or further medical treatment. The applicant contended the judge erred in these findings, arguing his prior nonindustrial injury didn't cause permanent disability and that he was entitled to temporary disability and medical reimbursement. The Board adopted the judge's reasoning and also noted the applicant's petition was unverified, contrary to Labor Code requirements.
