CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The applicant claimed industrial injury to her neck and shoulders on February 10, 2011, while working as a caregiver. The administrative law judge found the applicant failed to prove the injury arose out of and occurred in the course of employment (AOE/COE), citing a lack of credibility in her testimony and conflicting testimony from a co-worker. Because the AOE/COE claim failed, the issue of the claim being barred as a post-termination claim became moot.
