CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's (WCJ) findings. The WCJ found the applicant not to be a credible witness, largely due to discrepancies between his reported limitations and observed activities in subrosa video evidence. Consequently, the WCJ determined that the applicant failed to prove his injury arose out of and occurred in the course of his employment (AOE/COE). The WCAB gave great weight to the WCJ's credibility determination, finding no substantial evidence to warrant overturning it.
