CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior award, affirming the finding of industrial injury to the applicant's left wrist. While the defendant argued the medical evidence was insufficient, the Board adopted the WCJ's report which recommended denial of that claim. However, the Board amended the award to correct a clerical error in the Permanent Partial Disability amount, adjusting it from $50,170.00 to $52,200.00. Consequently, the applicant's total PPD award was corrected to the accurate statutory amount.
