MARTIN MOCCALDI vs. G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS, NATIONAL UNION FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the employer's petition for reconsideration of an award finding the applicant sustained a cumulative trauma injury to his heart and GERD. The employer alleged the applicant misrepresented his work stress and that the date of injury was unsupported as no time was lost from work. The Board found the employer's petition contained misleading representations, admonished them for advocacy that crossed into misrepresentation, and upheld the WCJ's credibility determinations. The Board also clarified that the date of injury for statute of limitations purposes was not an issue at trial.
