This case involves Nelson Torres Godinez's claim for workers' compensation benefits related to a specific injury in May 2009 and cumulative trauma from August 2008 to October 2009. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the findings of the administrative law judge. The judge found that despite strong legal arguments made by the applicant regarding notice requirements and unrebutted medical reports, the medical evidence did not convincingly demonstrate an industrial injury or disability. Ultimately, the judge did not find the applicant's testimony credible regarding the extent of injury and protective measures used, leading to the denial of the claim.
