Lepe Delgado, Jose

Applicant Jose Lepe Delgado settled his cumulative trauma claim via a Compromise and Release for $70,600, with defendant agreeing to handle all liens of record. At a lien trial involving only defendant and lien claimant Dental Trauma Center, the WCJ found applicant sustained industrial injury to multiple body parts including the teeth. Defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the WCJ erred in finding industrial dental injury. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision, and substituted a finding that applicant did not sustain industrial injury to his teeth, concluding the reporting of Dr. Schames did not constitute substantial medical evidence. The Board deferred all other body parts and issues, reserving jurisdiction.
