What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ found no industrial cumulative injury due to lack of evidence of orthopedic cumulative injury, but the WCAB found the record incomplete and remanded for further development to determine if orthopedic injury caused the gastrointestinal issues.
From the decision · page 1Applicant seeks reconsideration of a workers' compensation administrative law judge's (WCJ) Findings of Fact and Orders of August 22, 2024 in case ADJ16748561, wherein it was found applicant did not sustain industrial cumulative injury during a cumulative period ending October 2008 to his back, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, hips, knees, heart, gastrointestinal system, head, or in the forms of varicose veins or sexual dysfunction. The WCJ thus issued an order that applicant take nothing by way of his workers' compensation claim.
