CompFox AI Summary
Applicant seeks reconsideration of a prior decision finding only heat exhaustion and dehydration as his work injury, claiming the arbitrator overlooked back, neck, and leg injuries. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior decision, and remanded the case. This action is partly due to the applicant's former attorney's potential abandonment and the need for him to show good cause for withdrawal. The case will return to the arbitrator for further proceedings on the applicant's alleged orthopedic injuries.
