ROBERTO CORTEZ vs. ESP 2000, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION for FREMONT INSURANCE COMPANY, in liquidation, by CAMBRIDGE INTEGRATED SERVICES, TIG INSURANCE COMPANY
This case involves two industrial injuries sustained by Roberto Cortez as a deliveryman. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a joint findings and award, confirming two separate injuries in 2000 and a cumulative trauma injury from 2000-2001. The Board also affirmed the judge's calculation of applicant's attorney's fees as a percentage of the award, rather than an hourly rate, despite a dispute over the application of Labor Code section 4066. Ultimately, the Board agreed with the judge's findings on liability and attorney's fees, affirming the original award.
