JACKIE MOSELEY vs. ST. JOHNS KNITS, TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY Administered By CCMSI

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended a prior decision. The amendment corrected the permanent disability rating for Jackie Moseley's August 21, 2004 injury from 34% to 32%. This adjustment, equaling $31,950.00, was made after accounting for loss of earning capacity, age, occupation, and apportionment. The decision also clarified that the defendant's failure to offer modified work triggers an additional 15% permanent disability payment under Labor Code section 4658(d)(2).
