Leandro Provencio vs. Palmer Tank and Construction, State Compensation Insurance Fund

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award. The Board found the applicant failed to prove his left knee injury arose out of and in the course of employment. This decision was based on the applicant's inconsistent reporting of the date and mechanism of injury, and a lack of substantial medical evidence linking the alleged incident to a subsequent disability or need for treatment. Ultimately, the applicant was denied workers' compensation benefits.
