CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, reversing a prior finding that SCIF was solely liable for applicant's cumulative injury. The Board determined the correct Labor Code section 5412 date of injury was December 10, 2014, based on the concurrence of disability and knowledge of its industrial nature. Consequently, the Labor Code section 5500.5(a) liability period is the year preceding that date, making American Insurance Company, the carrier during that period, solely liable for compensation. The Board rescinded the prior award and issued a new decision and award against American Insurance Company.
