MILES GRAY vs. AT&T, permissibly self-insured, administered by SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

This case involves an applicant who sustained a severe right lower extremity injury, leading to multiple surgeries, significant leg length discrepancy, and fused ankle/foot, requiring constant mobility aids. The Agreed Medical Evaluator (AME) provided opinions on impairment, and vocational experts testified regarding the applicant's ability to return to work. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the prior award, finding substantial evidence supporting the applicant's unsuitability for rehabilitation. Defendant's supplemental reply did not alter this decision.
