Summary

Applicant Vanessa Hanoum, a pharmacy technician for Rite Aid, sustained admitted industrial injury to her left and right wrists during employment from December 2007 through May 2019, and claimed additional injury to her thumbs, neck, head, and psyche. After a two-day trial, the WCJ issued a findings and award resolving various issues, including denial of most Labor Code section 5814 penalty claims (awarding only a 25% penalty on a late SJDB voucher), deferral of the AWW/EDD reimbursement issue, and a finding that applicant failed to prove industrial causation for her thumbs. The WCAB denied applicant's petition for reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report except for one section regarding 'acceptance of both thumbs.' The Board emphasized that applicant bore the burden of proof on each affirmative issue and failed to cite the record with specificity.
