Lab. Code § 5902; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, §§ 10945, 10972
A petition for reconsideration must set forth specifically and in full detail the grounds upon which reconsideration is sought, and fairly state all material evidence relative to the points at issue. It may be dismissed if unsupported by specific references to the record or principles of law involved.
Applied to dismiss the petition as skeletal for failing to meet these requirements.

The petition shall be verified upon oath in the manner required for verified pleadings in courts of record and shall contain a general statement of any evidence or other matters upon which the applicant relies in support thereof.

- A published decision of the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, taken apart by what it turned on. The Board publishes the decision itself; this page adds the extraction and quotes the passage behind every claim.
- The injured worker is not named here, and the case caption is not printed. Physicians appear as the decision names them, because a medical opinion is an act in a public proceeding.
- Issues, outcomes and weights were extracted by AI and released only where the source passage checked. Read the official decision before relying on anything here. Not legal advice.
