Petition for reconsideration granted, WCJ's Findings and Order of August 12, 2024 rescinded, case returned to trial level for further proceedings and decision on industrial causation
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The WCJ's original decision was rescinded because the record was insufficient to establish industrial injury; the case was remanded for further development including additional medical reports addressing causation specifically related to the applicant's diagnosed condition and chemical exposures.
From the decision · page 1Applicant seeks reconsideration of a workers' compensation administrative law judge's (WCJ) Findings and Order of August 12, 2024, wherein it was found that applicant did not sustain industrial injury to the kidney while employed during a cumulative period ending February 28, 2021. The WCJ thus ordered that applicant take nothing by way of her workers' compensation claim.
