IMELDA SOSA vs. BRAWLEY UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, ATHENS ADMINISTRATORS, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE, SELF-INSURED SCHOOLS OF CALIFORNIA

This case involves an employer's reconsideration request concerning a finding of cumulative trauma injury. The applicant was found to have sustained a cumulative trauma injury through June 13, 2011, resulting in 23% permanent disability and an award for indemnity and future medical treatment. The employer argued against compensable temporary disability for a single day's absence and questioned the applicant's knowledge of the cumulative trauma's industrial cause. The Board affirmed the original award, finding the applicant had knowledge of an industrial injury and suffered disability on June 13, 2011.
