The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a prior decision that denied applicant David Roldan's claim for lumbar spine, rib, and right knee injuries. The WCAB found that there was a dispute regarding whether the injuries arose out of and in the course of employment (AOE/COE), with conflicting medical opinions from Dr. Arnush and Dr. Haronian. Consequently, the case was returned to the Workers' Compensation Judge for further proceedings, including a potential medical-legal evaluation, to determine compensability.
