This case concerns applicant Hector Garcia's workers' compensation claim for bilateral upper extremity injuries. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reconsidered a prior award, focusing on the defense under Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). The Board amended the award to bar the applicant's specific injury claim from May 1, 2009, finding it was filed after termination notice for an injury predating termination and without sufficient employer notice. However, the Board affirmed the finding of cumulative trauma injury, finding the employer did not prove otherwise.
