CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the employer's Petition for Reconsideration in the case of Patrick Miglas. The Board found that the employer failed to demonstrate that the Qualified Medical Evaluators' opinions finding industrial causation for Miglas' neck, heart, and psyche injuries were not substantial evidence. The Board also admonished the applicant's attorney for procedural errors in the petition. The employer's arguments challenging the medical opinions lacked the necessary medical expertise and were therefore unconvincing.
