CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision that apportioned 80% of his left lower extremity and psyche disability to a November 8, 2002 injury, and 20% to pre-existing factors. The applicant argued the Agreed Medical Examiner's opinion was flawed, the record should have included an RSD expert, and a sub-rosa video was inadmissible. The WCAB denied the petition, adopting the judge's report and admonishing applicant's counsel for citing an unpublished opinion. Defendant's untimely request to change the apportionment was also not considered.
