Successful appellate challenge to a defense opinion before the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board.

The case involved a claim petition alleging injuries and disability beyond an acknowledged L2-3 transverse process fracture. After reviewing the substantial evidentiary record, the judge did not find the claimant or his evidence to be credible. The petition was denied beyond a limited period of disability. On appeal, the claimant attempted to argue that the judge failed to consider evidence, which the Appeal Board dismissed.
