CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Zurich Insurance's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the prior order. The Board found the WCJ erred by failing to address all submitted issues, including insurance coverage periods and the statute of limitations. Crucially, the WCJ did not determine the applicant's Labor Code Section 5412 date of injury, which is necessary for allocating liability under Section 5500.5. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
