RONALD JOHNSON vs. RUAN TRANSPORTATION, ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a prior decision finding no industrial injury to the applicant's low back. The WCAB determined that the Qualified Medical Evaluator's (QME) opinion lacked substantial medical evidence because the QME did not adequately address the applicant's claim of cumulative trauma. The case is returned for a new medical evaluation to address whether the applicant sustained a cumulative trauma injury.
