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 panel found that the applicant sustained an industrial injury to the right ankle based on substantial medical evidence from QME Dr. Guzman and medical records, outweighing the WCJ's credibility assessment against the applicant's testimony.
From the decision · page 18Accordingly, we will grant reconsideration, and, as our Decision After Reconsideration, we will affirm the F&O, except that we will amend to find that that applicant sustained injury AOE/COE to the right ankle, defer the issue of what other parts of the body were injured, defer the issue of whether applicant is entitled to further medical treatment to cure or relieve the effects of injury, and rescind the order that applicant take nothing on his claim; and we will return the matter to the trial level for further proceedings consistent with this decision.
