CompFox AI Summary
This case involves applicant Sanjay Kumar's petition for reconsideration of a denial of his workers' compensation claim. The administrative law judge (WCJ) found that Kumar failed to prove an industrial injury to his shoulder, hip, and thigh. This decision was based on conflicting testimony, specifically a coworker's account that the bumper was already removed and Kumar did not report pain, and the employer's testimony that Kumar cited dizziness from medication rather than an injury. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's finding that Kumar did not meet his burden of proof due to the lack of credible evidence supporting his claim.
