KEITH AUSTIN vs. DANA MOTORS, PREFERRED EMPLOYER INSURANCE COMPANY, CIGA on behalf of LEGION INSURANCE COMPANY in liquidation

In this case, the defendant sought reconsideration of a decision that found the injured worker's cumulative trauma claim was not time-barred. The parties had stipulated that the sole issue for trial was the statute of limitations, not the existence of the injury itself. The Appeals Board granted the petition to amend the findings, clarifying that the cumulative trauma claim is not barred by the statute of limitations. All other issues, including the extent of injury, are deferred for further proceedings.
