The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of the August 19, 2015 Findings of Fact, Award & Orders. The Board affirmed the finding that the applicant's February 22, 2002 injury was not caused by the defendant's serious and willful misconduct, as the applicant failed to prove this claim. Additionally, the Board upheld the findings that prior injuries from 1998 and 1997 did not cause permanent disability or need for further medical treatment, and that a cumulative trauma claim from 1995-2002 was not proven. The denial was based on the WCJ's report and a lack of sufficient legal argument and record references in the applicant's petition.
