SA YANG LO vs. CUSTOM SENSORS & TECHNOLOGIES, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a prior award, upholding the application of the 2005 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule. The Board found that exceptions allowing for the 1997 Schedule did not apply, as the applicant's temporary disability indemnity extended beyond January 1, 2005, and no qualifying pre-2005 reports indicated permanent disability. Furthermore, the Board found the applicant's vocational expert's opinion regarding diminished future earning capacity unpersuasive, thus affirming the initial 9% permanent disability rating.

MICHAEL GRAY vs. WATSON ROOFING, INC., NATIONAL UNION FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, AIG DOMESTIC CLAIMS, INC.

This case concerns a clerical error in a previous Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision where the applicant's injury and temporary disability dates were mistakenly listed as 2009 instead of 2008. The Board issues an order correcting these specific dates nunc pro tunc across multiple pages of the prior opinion. This ensures the record accurately reflects the true year of the applicant's injury and the commencement of his temporary disability benefits. The correction is effective as of the original decision date.

LUIS ECHEVARRIA vs. FALCON WEST, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and reversed the trial judge's award of attorney's fees under Labor Code section 5814.5. The Board reasoned that section 5814.5 requires an award of attorney's fees to be "in addition to" increased compensation under section 5814, which was not sought or awarded here. Furthermore, the Board found that any delay in payment was not unreasonable due to a good-faith dispute over the net settlement amount.

ROBERT EDMONSON vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES, (DEPARTMENT OF AIRPORTS), Permissibly Self-Insured

This case involves Robert Edmonson's claim of a new industrial injury to his right knee on June 28, 2011, distinct from a prior 2008 injury. The employer, City of Los Angeles, initially denied the new injury but later accepted it according to a doctor's report and an acceptance notice. The employer's petition for reconsideration was denied because they failed to raise the affirmative defense of lack of notice at trial, and even if raised, they failed to demonstrate prejudice. The Board adopted the WCJ's findings, denying reconsideration and not imposing sanctions as suggested.

LISA MANZO vs. WHITE MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the employer's petition for reconsideration as it was not a final order but granted removal to rescind the WCJ's disapproval of the Stipulations. The Board found the Stipulations might be adequate despite the WCJ's concerns and ordered the matter returned to the trial level with missing documents to be filed. The employer must provide Dr. Knight's December 2006 report, its investigator's report, and the proposed Stipulations for a new decision on their adequacy.
