CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the WCJ's finding of industrial injury to the applicant's neck and bilateral upper extremities, resulting in 55.75% permanent disability. Applicant's contentions regarding apportionment of neck disability to non-industrial causes, injury to shoulders, internal systems, and psychiatric injury were largely rejected based on lack of substantial medical evidence and credibility issues. The case was remanded for further proceedings solely to address a lien claim for attorney fees filed by the applicant's prior attorney, George Slotnick.
