GRACE CHU STARNES vs. GLAXO SMITH KLINE, NATLSCO administered by BROADSPIRE

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinding the prior order that deemed the applicant's lien claim non-industrial. Medical evidence, including physician's notes and hospital records, corroborated the applicant's statements that her cervical spine pain began due to job activities. Therefore, the Board found the applicant sustained a cumulative trauma industrial injury. The case was returned to the WCJ for further proceedings and a new decision.
