ROBERT D. TULL vs. GENERAL LIGHTING SERVICE, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION for CALIFORNIA COMPENSATION, In Liquidation

This case concerns a workers' compensation applicant found to have sustained industrial injuries to his neck and psyche. After initially receiving an award for 48% permanent disability, the applicant petitioned to reopen alleging new and further disability. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded the trial judge's decision, finding the applicant 100% permanently disabled with no basis for apportionment. This decision overturned the trial judge's apportionment to prior injuries, emphasizing that the new and further disability was entirely attributable to the California industrial injuries. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings on benefits, attorney fees, and costs.
