What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The Appeals Board found that applicant was employed by defendant on July 15, 2021, and that applicant claimed injury arising out of and in the course of employment on both July 15, 2021 and February 3, 2020, reversing the WCJ's prior finding due to lack of substantial medical evidence and incomplete record.
From the decision · page 7Accordingly, we grant applicant's Petition for Reconsideration, rescind the F&O and substitute a new F&O that finds that in ADJ14951750, while employed by defendant on July 15, 2021, applicant claims to have sustained injury arising out of and in the course of employment to his left knee, left ankle, and left foot; that in ADJ15106978, applicant while allegedly employed by defendant on February 3, 2020 claims to have sustained injury arising out of and in the course of employment to his head and neck; and that defendant was uninsured at the time of the claimed injuries. We defer all other issues. We return the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings consistent with this decision.
