CompFox AI Summary

This case involves Anoush Massihi's workers' compensation claim against Occidental College and Seabright Insurance Company for continuous trauma injuries. The Defendants petitioned for reconsideration, challenging the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) reliance on Dr. Sobel's medical opinions, findings on wages and concurrent employment, apportionment, and the employer's Medical Provider Network status. The WCJ's report recommended denying reconsideration, finding that the WCJ properly exercised discretion in weighing medical evidence and that issues of wages and concurrent employment were waived. The WCJ also found sufficient basis for apportionment and that the MPN issue was irrelevant to the decision. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board adopted the WCJ's report and denied the petition for reconsideration.
