CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the Appeals Board denied the defendant insurer's petition for reconsideration. The insurer sought to overturn a prior award finding the applicant sustained cumulative spinal and extremity injuries. The Board found the applicant's date of injury, for statute of limitations purposes, was October 9, 2009, which was subsequent to his layoff. This date also satisfied the condition for post-termination claims under Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). Finally, the Board affirmed that the Agreed Medical Evaluator's opinions constituted substantial evidence supporting the original award.
