CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns Michael Pfundstein's cumulative wrist injury claim against Hendrickson Trucking. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The Board affirmed the finding that the date of injury was October 3, 2013, based on the concurrence of disability and applicant's knowledge of its industrial origin. The Board found the defendant failed to prove the statute of limitations barred the claim, as the applicant's application was filed timely after the determined date of injury. Liability for the cumulative injury is linked to the period of exposure, which the medical evidence indicated was during the applicant's employment with the defendant.
