CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the trial judge's findings, remanding the case for further development of the record. The applicant claims industrial cumulative trauma injury to her left knee, left thumb, right knee, left arm, and left wrist. The medical expert, Dr. Anderson, initially found no cumulative trauma from the applicant's work with the defendant school district but later opined it was possible from concurrent work as a cashier. The Board found it unclear why the applicant's job with the defendant, which also involved standing and hand use, would not also support a cumulative trauma claim, necessitating further investigation.
