CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the previous award finding industrial injury. The Board determined that while the defendant initially provided some medical treatment, thus triggering the five-year statute of limitations under Labor Code section 5410, this period was tolled. Once the defendant issued a denial notice on February 24, 2006, the one-year statute of limitations commenced, and the applicant's subsequent claim, filed more than one year after the denial, was consequently barred.
