CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision denying her claim for cumulative trauma injury to various body parts, arguing the employer failed to deny her claim within 90 days, thus triggering a presumption of compensability under Labor Code section 5402. The WCAB denied reconsideration, affirming the trial judge's finding that section 5402's 90-day period does not commence until a claim form is properly filed. The Board noted that the applicant did not provide proof of when the relevant claim form was received by the employer, and an earlier claim form pertained to a different, specific injury. Therefore, the applicant failed to establish the basis for the presumption of compensability.
