CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The WCAB affirmed the finding that the applicant sustained injuries to his neck, elbows, and bilateral extremities, based on substantial evidence from treating physicians. The Board found the defendant's argument that the medical opinions were conclusory unpersuasive, and the PQME's opinions on causation lacked sufficient reasoning. The applicant's proof of injury arising out of and occurring during employment was found to be reasonably probable.
