CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinded the trial judge's findings, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The Board found the trial judge's decision lacked clarity regarding the specific body parts injured, the date of injury under Labor Code section 5412, and the application of the statute of limitations to numerous claimed injuries. This lack of specificity rendered the findings on industrial causation and defenses unclear. The Board instructed the trial judge to obtain further medical reporting and issue a new decision addressing all claimed body parts and conditions.
