PATRICK JAMES DOHERTY vs. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns an applicant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision. The Board denied the petition, upholding the original finding that the applicant sustained industrial injury to his bilateral knees. The decision affirmed that defendant's Medical Provider Network (MPN) notices were compliant and that the applicant must transfer future medical care to the defendant's MPN. The Board found the applicant failed to present evidence supporting his claims of improper notices or why new evidence was not previously disclosed.
