Sebastiano Bonfiglio — ADJ13056523

Applicant Sebastiano Bonfiglio, an area superintendent for self-insured Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, claimed a cumulative injury to his back, psyche, and other body parts during December 2018 through December 2019. The WCJ found applicant did not sustain a cumulative injury AOE/COE and that the claim was barred by the Labor Code section 3600 post-termination defense, ordering applicant take nothing. On reconsideration, the WCAB found the QME reports of Dr. Feinberg were internally inconsistent and therefore not substantial evidence, and noted the post-termination defense had actually been deferred and would not apply to a voluntary resignation in any event. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the F&A, and remanded for further development of the record, including a supplemental report from Dr. Feinberg and a psychiatric/psychological medical-legal evaluation.
