KERRY NECHODOM vs. CITY OF GROVER BEACH

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to amend the date of injury for Kerry Nechodom's right shoulder injury in case ADJ6693720 from February 3, 2007 - September 10, 2009 to August 12, 2008 - September 10, 2009. This amendment acknowledges a separate cumulative trauma injury due to distinct periods of disability and lack of continuous treatment between injuries. The Board affirmed the original award, finding that the applicant sustained two separate cumulative trauma injuries causing distinct periods of temporary disability. The employer's arguments regarding the cumulative trauma period and Labor Code $\S 4656$ limitations were addressed and resolved by this clarification.
