Zoila Marina Carballo Hernandez — ADJ13493291, ADJ19093281, ADJ12260890

Applicant Zoila Marina Carballo Hernandez, a custodian for the self-insured San Francisco State University, sustained admitted industrial injuries to her low back across three claims (a 2017 specific injury and two cumulative trauma periods through 2020 and 2024). After trial, the WCJ found applicant failed to prove injury in the form of ulcers/hiatal hernia and that there was no need to develop the record regarding claimed injuries to vision, hearing, cognitive impairment, and gastrointestinal injury in ADJ19093281, while finding a need to develop the record for orthopedic body parts and headaches. Applicant sought reconsideration, disputing the closure of discovery on certain conditions and the WCJ's credibility findings. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration on a preliminary basis, concluding it was unclear whether substantial medical evidence supported the WCJ's decision on industrial causation and that the record was not properly developed. The Board deferred a final decision pending further review of the merits.
