CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's award of temporary disability indemnity. The Board found that jurisdiction was not lost, as there had been no prior award terminating benefits, thus allowing for the award of temporary disability even when it extended beyond five years from the date of injury. This decision was consistent with precedent where ongoing jurisdiction exists if no prior disposition has closed the case.
