Ronald Turnage — ADJ8596440

Applicant Ronald Turnage claimed he sustained injury to his back and hip on February 29, 2012 when he slipped on oil in a warehouse while working as an Office Manager for Foytt, LP, an uninsured employer. The WCJ initially found applicant not credible and denied the claim, but after the Board rescinded that decision and remanded for consideration of supplemental medical evidence, the WCJ admitted two contemporaneous medical reports (dated 2/29/12 and 3/6/12) documenting the injury and treatment. Based on this corroborating evidence, the WCJ found applicant sustained injury AOE/COE. Defendant sought reconsideration, contending the injury finding lacked substantial evidence and that it had no access to the warehouse in February 2012. The Board affirmed the WCJ's finding of employment and injury AOE/COE, holding that substantial evidence supported the WCJ's credibility determination and factual findings, and amended the decision only to admit defendant's Exhibit G into evidence.
