CompFox AI Summary
Applicant Miguel Ramirez sought reconsideration of a prior award finding temporary disability only from December 12, 2014, to January 12, 2015, stemming from a right leg injury. He argued the WCJ improperly relied on the treating physician's report releasing him from care and excluding his own medical evidence. The Board denied reconsideration, affirming the prior finding. The Board found Ramirez waived objections to the initial medical report by not raising them at trial and that subsequent medical opinions lacked substantial evidence due to incomplete histories, particularly neglecting his prior release from care and subsequent employment.
