SUSANA RESENDIZ MORALES vs. COAST SEAFOOD COMPANY, ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY

Applicant Susana Resendiz Morales sought reconsideration of a Joint Findings and Orders (F&O) issued on June 18, 2025, which found no new and further disability from her prior injuries with Coast Seafood Company and dismissed her Petitions for New and Further Disability. Applicant contended the WCJ did not adequately consider her mental health evidence. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) adopted the WCJ's Report and Recommendation, concluding that any new and further disability, including mental health issues, was attributable to a subsequent injury with a different employer. Consequently, the WCAB denied the Petition for Reconsideration.
