Iniguez v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board
In 2012, the workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) determined that the employee had sustained industrial injuries to his right shoulder and left knee. A medical report issued in 2013 identified additional injuries to the neck and back. In 2015, the WCJ ruled that the claim for injuries to the neck and back was barred by the 2012 decision because that decision had found injuries only to the right shoulder and left knee. A majority of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (appeals board) upheld the WCJ’s 2015 decision.
