CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to applicant Robert Roth. The Board found that Roth's claim is not barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10) because his medical records contained evidence of his hernia injury prior to his layoff. This decision overturns the WCJ's prior finding that the claim was barred due to a lack of documented causation in the pre-termination medical records. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings on the remaining issues.
