This case concerns determining the correct date of injury for applicant Maria Rivera's cumulative injury claim. Defendant Sussex Insurance Company sought reconsideration of the administrative law judge's finding that the date of injury was February 17, 2012. Sussex argued for an earlier date, which would shift liability to a prior insurer, Star Insurance. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, finding insufficient evidence that Rivera suffered wage loss or ratable permanent disability before February 17, 2012, as required by Labor Code section 5412. Therefore, Sussex remains liable for the claim.
