Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer in four sentences:
The applicant sought reconsideration of a WCJ's decision that industrial injury was limited to her lumbar spine, arguing the trial should not have adjudicated the extent of injury to other claimed body parts. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, affirming the lumbar spine injury but rescinding the denial of injury to other parts, deferring that issue for future consideration due to due process concerns. The Board found that issues beyond the stated trial issues of AOE/COE and temporary disability were improperly adjudicated without notice. The claim's denial by the employer was found not to be improper, and that finding was affirmed.
