JOHN MARSHALL vs. FLETCHER JONES MOTOR CARS, AMERICFAN INSURANCE COMPANY, ALLIANZ RESOLUTION, FREMONT INSURANCE COMPANY LIQUIDATION, CIGA

This case concerns a dispute over the date of injury for a deceased applicant's cumulative trauma claim. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior decision that set the injury date as March 5, 1999. The Board found insufficient evidence that the applicant knew his disability was industrially caused by that date, especially given a medical report concluding the condition was non-industrial. The matter is remanded for further proceedings to develop evidence on when the applicant gained knowledge of the industrial causation of his injury.
