CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the City of Sebastopol's petition for reconsideration. The City argued the applicant sustained two separate cumulative trauma injuries, one with each employer, and that the injury should be broken into multiple incidents. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found a single cumulative injury due to concurrent employment, with apportionment of disability among the employers to be addressed separately. The WCJ noted that further development of the record is needed to establish the date of injury and assess liability.
