GUADALUPE FIERRO vs. BURLINGTON HOMES, BILTMORE PROPERTIES; YORK RISK SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding an industrial injury claim. The Board affirmed the finding that the applicant sustained an injury arising out of and in the course of employment, and that the claim was not barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). However, the Board amended the original decision to strike all references to specific injured body parts. This amendment allows for further development of the record to determine which body parts were actually injured in the July 7, 2011 incident.
