CompFox AI Summary
Applicant Sharon Sterling sought reconsideration of a WCJ decision denying her workers' compensation claim for injuries sustained on April 3, 2004. The WCJ had found no substantial medical evidence to support industrial causation, specifically noting deficiencies in a single physician's report. Sterling's petition for reconsideration was dismissed by the Appeals Board as untimely, filed nearly a year after the original decision. The Board also noted the petition was "skeletal" and lacked substantive grounds even if timely.
