CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior decision, and found that the applicant sustained injury to her right knee, left knee, and low back. This decision overturned the administrative law judge's initial finding that only the right knee was injured and that the left knee and low back were not compensable consequences. The Board found Dr. Suzuki's reports constituted substantial evidence supporting injury to all three body parts, consistent with the applicant's credible testimony. The matter was returned to the administrative law judge for further proceedings to develop the record on permanent disability and medical treatment needs.
