CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address the defendant's contention that the permanent disability award should be apportioned. The Board found that neither the treating physician's nor the defendant's QME's reports provided sufficient detailed reasoning on causation and apportionment for the spine and knee injuries. Therefore, the Board amended the decision to defer issues of permanent disability, apportionment, and attorney fees, returning the case for further medical development on apportionment.
