Injury / body parts: back

LC §3600LC §3208.3LC §5400LC §5411LC §5412

Summary

Applicant Jeffrey Mabe voluntarily quit his job as a truck driver for Mike's Trucking on February 7, 1997, having neither reported an industrial injury nor sought medical treatment prior to quitting. He subsequently claimed a cumulative back injury spanning 1993 through February 7, 1997. Defendants argued the claim was barred by Labor Code section 3600(a)(10), the post-termination defense. The WCJ found the statute inapplicable because it addresses employer-initiated notices of termination or layoff, not voluntary resignations. On reconsideration, the WCAB affirmed, holding that the statutory phrase 'voluntary layoff' is not synonymous with 'quit' or 'resignation.'
