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.

From the decision · page 1Lien claimant Medland Medical (lien claimant) petitioned for reconsideration of the Findings and Orders issued by the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) in this matter on December 31, 2024. In that decision, the WCJ found that applicant, while employed as a landscaper from April 17, 2021 to April 17, 2022, sustained industrial injury to his bilateral upper extremities.
