CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant who claims a left knee injury sustained on August 4, 2010, while working. The applicant did not report the injury to his employer until over two months later, after his termination. Medical reports were found to lack the necessary "reasonable medical probability" to link the injury to employment. Consequently, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board found insufficient evidence that the claimed injury arose out of and in the course of employment.
