ZERITA JONES vs. ALBERTSONS, Permissibly Self-Insured, SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's decision, affirming the finding of industrial injury to the applicant's left foot. The Board amended the original findings to explicitly include an industrial injury to the applicant's lower back, finding this issue was properly litigated by the parties. While the applicant's contentions regarding penalties and out-of-pocket expenses were noted, the Board directed those issues to be resolved informally or through further proceedings if necessary.
