CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the applicant's claim for cumulative trauma injury. The original finding held that the applicant failed to prove injury arising out of and in the course of employment due to inconsistent testimony and lack of substantial medical evidence. Furthermore, the claim was barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10) because the applicant did not seek medical treatment until after receiving notice of termination, and pre-termination medical records lacked evidence of injury. The Board adopted the judge's report, incorporating its reasoning and conclusion to deny the petition.
