CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The WCAB rescinded the administrative law judge's (ALJ) prior findings on injury date and knowledge of industrial causation. The WCAB determined that the parties improperly bifurcated issues, submitting only statute of limitations and date of injury without first establishing a compensable injury AOE/COE. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to properly address all necessary issues.
