CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a workers' compensation claim where the applicant sought benefits for cumulative industrial injury to his back. The administrative law judge initially found no cumulative injury, but a petition for reconsideration was granted. Upon review, the Appeals Board affirmed the original decision, finding substantial medical evidence supported the conclusion that the applicant's back condition was a result of a specific injury sustained on January 17, 1999, and not a separate cumulative trauma. Therefore, liability for the applicant's condition rests on the admitted specific injury.
