Michael Eyraud — ADJ19403295

Applicant Michael Eyraud filed a cumulative trauma claim for bilateral wrist injury, alleging injurious exposure while working as a content engineer for Macy's (through February 2020) and later as a web developer through staffing agency KForce (2021-2023). The WCJ found a single cumulative injury covering both employers, set the section 5412 date of injury as November 5, 2024 (the date of the QME's first evaluation), and rejected the statute of limitations defense. KForce sought reconsideration, arguing the WCJ erred on the date of injury and by improperly establishing a single cumulative trauma period without substantial medical-legal support. The Board granted reconsideration, finding the record undeveloped and unsupported by substantial evidence—particularly because the QME never reevaluated applicant after KForce was joined, and applicant's deposition predated KForce's joinder. The Board rescinded the Findings of Fact and remanded for further development, including consideration of whether there were two separate cumulative injuries and the general/special employment relationship between KForce and Intuit.
