This case involved applicant Ilma Osorio's cumulative injury claim for left knee and left wrist injuries sustained as a laundry worker. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) decision finding Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance solely liable for medical treatment. This was based on Nationwide being the sole carrier during the final year preceding applicant's disability, as defined by Labor Code section 5412, which requires wage loss. The WCAB also upheld the exclusion of Nationwide's proffered medical evidence, deeming it not newly discovered and not contradicting existing findings.
