CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reversed a prior award, finding the applicant's claims barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). While the applicant reported a fall from a ladder to his supervisor before termination, he did not report an injury and continued working without seeking medical care. The Board determined the employer lacked notice of an actual injury, a condition required to overcome the bar for claims filed after termination. Therefore, all of the applicant's claimed industrial injuries were rescinded.
