CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant seeking removal and reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision. The original findings awarded an industrial injury to the applicant's left cheek and brachium but denied a spinal cord stimulator trial. The applicant argued the WCJ erred by denying the trial, disputing body part acceptance procedures, and not giving equal weight to medical reports. The WCAB denied both petitions, adopting the WCJ's report and reasoning. They found the initial award was a final order and that reconsideration was the proper avenue, not removal.
