JESUS REBOLAR vs. SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA
This case involves an applicant's industrial injury to his right wrist and psyche. The defendant contests an award of temporary disability indemnity, arguing the judge improperly awarded benefits for a period not raised at trial. The Board granted reconsideration, finding that EDD payments, when reimbursed by the defendant, should count towards the 104-week temporary disability limit under Labor Code section 4656(c)(2). The matter is returned to trial for recalculation of benefits and to determine the extent of defendant's reimbursement of EDD payments.
