CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the finding of a mechanic's industrial injury to his right shoulder, wrist, teeth, and gastrointestinal system, resulting in 100% permanent disability. The Board adopted the WCJ's reliance on Dr. Markovitz's opinion that the gastrointestinal condition, leading to total disability, was entirely industrial. However, the issue of psychiatric injury was deferred for further consideration as the WCJ had not addressed statutory requirements. The decision also corrected a clerical error regarding the temporary disability end date.
