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.
