CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a police officer's workers' compensation claim for injuries sustained on January 26, 2010, and a cumulative trauma injury. The initial award found industrial injuries to the circulatory system, GERD, and sleep disturbance, alongside orthopedic injuries, but deferred a final permanent disability determination due to an inadequate record and potential credit issues. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the administrative law judge erred by not following a QME's apportionment and by issuing a premature partial award. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to defer all permanent disability determinations pending further record development.
