CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award concerning applicant Camilo Lopez's industrial injury. The Board is returning the case to the trial level for a new final determination due to issues with the administrative law judge's (WCJ) permanent disability rating and the admissibility of a medical report. While the applicant sought to introduce a report from a self-procured physician, the Board noted that such a report, if obtained solely to rebut another opinion, might be inadmissible.
