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 WCJ found injury AOE/COE to the bilateral elbows in the form of mild lateral epicondylitis based on substantial medical evidence from Dr. Sunny Uppal's reports, which included diagnostic studies. The lien claimant failed to meet the burden of proof for injury AOE/COE to the bilateral wrists, hands, fingers, stress, and psyche.
