Jeffrey DaVanon vs. Oakland Athletics, ACE Insurance Company, Sedgwick Claims Management

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The applicant, a former professional athlete, claimed cumulative trauma injury to multiple body parts, including gastrointestinal issues, neurological problems, and a sleep disorder not initially identified. The Board found that the WCJ erred by excluding medical evidence for these later-identified body parts, as they were included in the parties' stipulations and could have arisen or worsened after the applicant's deposition. The case is returned for further proceedings, allowing admission of relevant medical records and deferring final decisions on disputed body parts and permanent disability.
