TIMOTHY FRYE vs. STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION, Legally Uninsured; STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This case involves a correctional lieutenant who claimed a cumulative industrial injury to his heart, knees, hip, cardiovascular system, and hypertension. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing for separate injury periods for orthopedic and internal conditions. The Board denied the petition, upholding the finding of a single cumulative trauma period ending on the applicant's last day of employment. The Board found no evidence that the applicant knew his disability was work-related prior to consulting an attorney, thus establishing the date of injury as post-employment.
