CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied reconsideration of a finding that applicant Stefanie Webb sustained a cumulative injury to her wrists and arms from April 19, 2004, through April 14, 2009. The insurer contended the injury period ended in 2005, citing medical opinions. However, the WCAB found that April 14, 2009, was the correct date of injury as it was the first day applicant knew her condition was work-related and suffered disability. A dissenting opinion argued that medical evidence supported an earlier cessation of injurious exposure in 2005.
