CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Monica Roe's petition for reconsideration, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) decision. The ALJ found Roe's testimony lacked credibility regarding her alleged work-related neck and right upper extremity injury, and relied on the more credible testimony of employer witnesses. Furthermore, the ALJ determined that the medical reports submitted by Roe's physicians did not constitute substantial evidence to support her claim, particularly regarding cumulative trauma. Consequently, the Board adopted the ALJ's reasoning and denied reconsideration of the original order.
