This case involves a petition for reconsideration filed by Lab Corp and its insurer, ACE American Insurance, challenging a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) award of 25% permanent disability and medical treatment. The defendants argued the award was improperly based on work restrictions and that the Permanent Disability (PD) rating should have solely relied on Dr. Reynolds' report. The WCJ's report, adopted by the WCAB, denied reconsideration. The WCJ found evidence of work modifications and accommodated restrictions, and deemed both Dr. Newman's and Dr. Reynolds' reports substantial, justifying a rating based on the range of evidence.
