CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Skyler Dausman's Petition for Reconsideration. The applicant failed to serve defense counsel, but this defect was cured by counsel's voluntary filing of an answer. The Board adopted the judge's report, which found that Dr. Allems' and Dr. Khasigian's reports constituted substantial evidence supporting the denial of permanent disability and further medical treatment for injuries beyond the applicant's low back. Ultimately, the Board found no industrial injury to the abdomen, nerve damage, or hernia, and upheld the defendant's credit for overpaid temporary disability.
