CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a finding that the applicant did not sustain an industrial injury to his right knee or suffer sleep loss. While a presumption of compensability applied due to the employer's failure to reject the claim within 90 days, the applicant's testimony regarding the expectation of employment for an after-hours basketball game was found not credible. Therefore, the presumption was rebutted, and the applicant's claim was denied.
