Nancy Parker vs. FOLSOM ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY, HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves Nancy Parker's claims of work-related heart injury stemming from exposure to an aerosol cleaner and emotional distress from a co-worker. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the WCJ's findings. The WCJ found that the alleged exposure to the cleaning product likely occurred weeks before the claimed injury date, and the applicant's description of her interaction with the co-worker was significantly inaccurate. Consequently, the WCJ concluded the applicant did not sustain industrial injuries as alleged.
