Garcia, Marco

Marco Garcia, a maintenance mechanic, filed a cumulative trauma claim against Aerospace Dynamics International, with defendant insured by ACE American Insurance Company administered by Sedgwick. The WCJ found injury AOE/COE to the respiratory system and lungs, ordered further development of the record, and admitted defense exhibits C through J, but inadvertently omitted exhibits K and L (subpoenaed UCLA pulmonary records reflecting a double lung transplant) from Finding of Fact #6. Defendant sought reconsideration; applicant argued exhibits K and L were obtained after the MSC discovery cutoff and should be excluded under Labor Code section 5502(d)(3). The Board granted reconsideration, found the omission was a clerical/scrivener's error, held the records were relevant and necessary for the PQME's evaluation and to develop the record, and amended Finding of Fact #6 to admit exhibits C through L.
