Alvarez Gonzalez, Jorge Armando

Applicant Jorge Armando Alvarez Gonzalez worked as a Lumper for TW Services from October 1, 2023 to October 1, 2024 and alleged a cumulative injury to his abdomen, groin, and hernia. The WCJ found industrial injury based on applicant's trial testimony and 2021 hospital records, and found the claim was not barred as a post-termination claim or under Labor Code section 3700. Technology Insurance Company sought reconsideration, arguing the WCJ failed to make findings on the date of injury and erred in finding industrial causation. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, holding that the finding of industrial causation lacked substantial medical evidence and that the WCJ failed to establish a section 5412 date of injury or analyze the section 5500.5 liability period. The Board rescinded the decision and remanded for further development of the record.
