FRANK TORRES vs. COUNTY OF KERN; PROBATION DEPARTMENT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to award further medical treatment for Frank Torres' cumulative trauma injury to his left knee. The Board found that the Agreed Medical Examiner's opinion provided sufficient evidence for this award, despite the judge's initial denial. This decision overturns the prior finding that no further treatment was necessary for the left knee. The award of further medical treatment clarifies and prevents potential future delays in care for the industrial injury.
