HORTENCIA CORDERO VELASQUEZ vs. ROSS STORES, INC.; ACE AMERICAN; ARCH INSURANCE, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board case involved an applicant claiming injury to her neck and back. The Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, agreeing that the statute of limitations was tolled because the employer failed to provide the applicant with proper notice of her workers' compensation rights. While affirming the finding of injury, the Board deferred issues of temporary disability and attorney's fees pending further development of the record. The matter was returned to the WCJ for additional proceedings.
