CompFox AI Summary
This case involves Julio Jimenez's workers' compensation claims against CR&R for injuries sustained while employed as a driver. The Appeals Board rescinded the prior WCJ's decisions, finding that Jimenez's claims were not barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10), which generally prevents claims filed after termination. The Board found sufficient evidence that the employer had notice of or medical records documented the eye and finger injuries prior to termination, and that Jimenez reported the knee and foot injury from the truck fire to his supervisor. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and new decisions by the WCJ, as the record needed further development, particularly regarding medical causation and specific body parts claimed.
