CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) decisions due to disputed findings on the applicant's neck, wrist, shoulder, back, and upper extremity injuries. Both the applicant and co-defendant Hartford sought reconsideration, alleging errors in the WCJ's reliance on specific medical opinions and the exclusion of certain injuries. The Board found the medical record required further development concerning causation and apportionment of these injuries before a new decision could be issued.
