CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a prior Appeals Board decision that had granted reconsideration on its own motion and remanded the case for further development of the record regarding a prior motor vehicle accident. The Board now finds reconsideration was improvidently granted, rescinds its previous order, and reinstates the original Workers' Compensation Judge's findings. The Board affirms the judge's finding of 84% permanent disability after apportionment, supported by an Agreed Medical Evaluator's opinion that one-third of the orthopedic disability was due to the motor vehicle accident.
