Outcome
The workers' compensation judge denied the employee's request for expedited hearing, finding insufficient evidence that he sustained a work-related low back injury on January 9, 2016. The judge found the employee's account not credible due to inconsistencies with his medical history and contradictions with his supervisor's testimony.
