Lorenzo Ramirez vs. Los Altos Food Products, Inc., Sampo Japan Nipponkoa America

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, amending the original award to exclude the right arm as a compensable body part due to insufficient medical evidence. The Board found that the original finding on temporary total disability lacked substantial evidence and deferred this issue, along with credit for EDD payments, for further development at the trial level. The case was remanded for a new decision by the WCJ on these deferred issues. The original finding of injury to the right elbow, right shoulder, and neck was affirmed.
