MICHAELYNN TROTTER vs. PERMANENTE MEDICAL GROUP, ATHENS ADMINISTRATORS

This case involves an applicant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) findings that she sustained an industrial injury to her low back and left knee. The applicant argued the WCJ erred in stating her left knee injury resulted in no disability. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, finding that the WCJ's statement about the knee injury was an extraneous remark within an Opinion on Decision, not an appealable order or award. Therefore, the Board could not grant reconsideration of that specific remark.
