CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant claiming cumulative trauma injury to his back and extremities due to his employment as a sales associate. The Appeals Board found the primary treating physician's reports insufficient to constitute substantial evidence of industrial causation, as they failed to address the applicant's testified slip-and-fall incident and lacked detailed medical histories. Consequently, the Board rescinded the WCJ's findings and remanded the case for further development of the record. This development is crucial for determining industrial causation and the applicability of the statute of limitations.
