CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board amended the prior award to find applicant sustained injury only to her right knee, rescinding the finding of a left knee injury as a compensable consequence. The matter was returned to the trial level for a new permanent disability rating for the right knee injury, requiring consideration of the Agreed Medical Examiner's apportionment and prior awards. Temporary disability for a specific period was deferred pending further determination regarding its relation to the now-excluded left knee injury. Applicant's attorney's petition for increased fees was deemed moot and would have been dismissed for procedural noncompliance.
