HERMAN DENNLER vs. TIMEC CO., INC.; ST. PAUL TRAVELERS, Adjusted By BROADSPIRE; OPEN WAVES SYSTEMS; LUMBERMAN'S MUTUAL CASUALTY COMPANY, Adjusted By BROADSPIRE

This case involves two industrial injuries to the applicant's spine sustained while employed by different employers. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to overturn a prior joint award, ruling that recent legislative changes require separate permanent disability ratings for each injury. Consequently, the Board issued separate awards for each injury and clarified that St. Paul Travelers is responsible for administering future medical care.
