CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Martha Romero's petition for reconsideration. The Board affirmed the finding that Romero sustained industrial cumulative trauma to her knees, shoulders, neck, trunk, ankles, and low back, but not to her head, arms, wrists, extremities, feet, psyche (hypertension, sleep disorder), or gastritis. This denial was based on the WCJ's report, which found Romero failed to meet her burden of proof regarding additional injuries and that her medical evidence was unsubstantial due to an inaccurate history and her failure to demonstrate due diligence in developing the record. The Board also noted the QME's opinion that Romero exaggerated her symptoms, supported by sub rosa video evidence.
