CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's findings of industrial injury to the applicant's head, ears, vision, and in the form of headaches and strokes. The Board found the Agreed Medical Evaluator's reports constituted substantial evidence of industrial causation for the applicant's strokes, despite the defendant's arguments. The Board also noted the defendant's submission of extraneous documents violated WCAB rules and warned of potential sanctions for future violations.
