PEDRO CANALES vs. BESTWAY SUPERMARKET, UNITED STATES FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves a workers' compensation claim for right shoulder, upper extremity, and back injuries. The defendant contested the claim's compensability, arguing it was a post-termination claim barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10) because medical evidence predating termination was not presented. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The Board rescinded the prior findings and returned the case to the administrative law judge for further proceedings and decision.
