Mr. Arauz's Case Summary

Improved Essays
Mr. Jacobo has been employed with the insured, for approximately seven months as a Line Assembly Technician 1; the same position which the claimant, Mr. Donald Arauz held when he was employed with the company. His job typically requires him to sit down in front of a worktable and to assemble by small hand elements of screws and other hardware in an assembly base motherboard or items that require the equipment to be either screwed-in with a small hand-held screwdriver or with an adhesive glue called HYSOL. They also use other smaller portable tools such as tweezers, hand-held air pressure syringe, tongs while they would hold these items in either hand. By doing so, they would use their fingers occasionally for 7.5 hours to grasp these tools …show more content…
Arauz’s violent outburst did he injure himself at any time or made him believe that any causation of any injury was contributed by him lifting a chair and throwing the chair on the ground.

Based upon Mr. Arauz’s threatening behavior and the aggression which he displayed on his last day of work, on October 12, 2016, he does not believe that Mr. Arauz actions were work related or was associated or caused by any strict timelines to produce this type of behavior. He believes that the behavior demonstrated by him was unwarranted and could have been handled a different way by not either coming to work or asking for time off, instead of placing him in potential danger by being injured by a flying chair.

Mr. Jacobo claimed that most of the time when he is at work, he is about an arm’s length away from Mr. Arauz. He said if there were anytime which Mr. Arauz had been injured due to a work-related mishap, he would be the first to know about it. When he has worked beside Mr. Arauz, he never heard him complain or discuss with him or with anyone else that the job was too much for him; which may have caused him to have any sinus pain or nose pain due to the job. He found Mr. Arauz as a young and eager person who appeared to be in excellent physical condition, where he could not see him having any of the following symptoms which were previously explained to him before the interview
