CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Applicant Angela Salazar's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board adopted the Judge's report, which found that while Salazar was a credible witness, the medical evidence did not constitute substantial evidence to support an industrial injury. The Judge determined that medical reports lacked critical details like work hours and failed to adequately explain causation. Furthermore, Salazar's own testimony and her post-injury success in education and employment supported the finding of no compensable industrial injury.
