This case involves applicant Wanda Jimenez's claim for a psychiatric injury sustained as a detention/probation officer, stemming from sexual harassment and retaliation by a supervisor. The defendant, County of Los Angeles, sought reconsideration of the WCJ's decision, arguing insufficient explanation of findings and a barred statute of limitations. The Board denied reconsideration, finding the WCJ's report adequately explained the decision and that the statute of limitations was tolled due to the defendant's failure to provide the applicant with a claim form. Causation was established by credible applicant testimony and supporting medical reports, and the cumulative trauma period ended with the retaliation.
