CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a worker's compensation applicant who sought reconsideration of a decision denying his claim for injury AOE/COE. The applicant alleged a forklift incident caused his injuries, but the WCJ found he failed to prove the incident occurred or that his employer was notified prior to his termination. While the WCAB adopted the WCJ's findings, they also noted that even if an incident and notice were proven, the applicant failed to provide substantial medical evidence connecting post-termination treatment to the alleged injury, thus precluding benefits under Labor Code section 3600(a)(10).
