Warren, William

Applicant William Warren, a truck driver, pursued two claims (a cumulative trauma period 9/3/2019-10/19/2020 and a specific 7/25/2020 injury) against MK Trucking Services/Maki BNS. The WCJ's May 14, 2025 F&A found AOE/COE for multiple orthopedic and neurological body parts but found no injury AOE/COE for applicant's internal claims of diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia based on internal PQME Dr. Meth's report. Applicant sought reconsideration, arguing the WCJ violated Labor Code section 5313, WCAB Rule 10560, and due process by adjudicating the internal conditions when the parties had limited the trial issues to AOE/COE and he had no notice the nature/extent of internal conditions would be finally decided. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the F&A, and substituted a new Findings and Order deferring the internal-condition AOE/COE issue pending further development of the record, returning the matter to the trial level.
