CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a Petition for Reconsideration by the defendant, Viasystems/TTM Technologies, challenging a Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) findings. The WCJ's decision addressed statute of limitations, lack of prejudice, and date of injury, but not the ultimate issue of whether the applicant's injury arose out of and in the course of employment (AOE/COE). The Appeals Board denied the petition because it was filed from an interlocutory order, not a final decision on AOE/COE. While the Board agreed that the WCJ's findings on the statute of limitations, notice, and date of injury were appealable, it ultimately denied reconsideration based on the WCJ's report, which found that the record required further development on the crucial AOE/COE issue.
