CompFox AI Summary
This case involved an applicant seeking reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision that denied industrial injuries to his right ankle, left knee, and psyche. The applicant's primary contention was an error in the date of injury for his left knee claim, arguing it should be February 6, 2014, not February 16, 2014. While the Board granted reconsideration to amend the finding to include both dates, they affirmed the overall decision denying compensability for the knee injury, as it was deemed consequential to a previously non-industrial injury. Therefore, all claimed industrial injuries were ultimately found not compensable.
