Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer, in four sentences:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and reversed the trial judge's decision, finding the applicant did not sustain industrial injury. The Board found the applicant not to be a credible witness, citing internal inconsistencies in his testimony and conflicts with medical reports. Furthermore, the medical evidence, particularly Dr. Chanin's reports, was deemed insubstantial due to its reliance on an inaccurate medical history that applicant denied. Consequently, the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof, and his claim for benefits was denied.
