CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration due to the applicant's attorney failing to file proof of service for a prior order, deeming the petition timely. The Board rescinded the prior order and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. This action was taken because the Compromise and Release appeared to settle a head injury, while the application only listed a back injury, and medical reports lacked sufficient detail to clarify the injury's scope. The WCJ will now conduct further proceedings and issue a new decision.
