CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a previous award regarding multiple injuries to the applicant. The applicant was found to have sustained specific injuries to her knees and extremities, as well as cumulative trauma, resulting in temporary and permanent disability. However, the defendant argued errors in apportionment, an award for an un-found lumbar spine injury, and statute of limitations issues for the cumulative trauma claim. Consequently, the Board rescinded the original award and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
