LAURIE SHREFFLER vs. ELECTRONIC DATA SYSTEM, HEWLETT PACKARD, TRAVELERS WALNUT CREEK

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration of a decision filed March 18, 2011. This action was taken due to statutory time constraints and a need for further study of the factual and legal issues presented. The WCAB requires this to ensure a complete understanding of the record and to issue a just decision. All future filings are to be directed to the Office of the Commissioners in San Francisco.

Laurie Shreffler vs. Electronic Data System, Hewlett Packard, Travelers Insurance Company

In this Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision, the Appeals Board reversed the finding that the applicant sustained an industrial injury related to diabetes. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which favored Dr. Nishimura's medical opinion over Dr. Nacouzi's regarding the diabetes. While the award for temporary and permanent disability remains, the applicant is no longer entitled to industrial medical treatment for her diabetes. The decision otherwise affirmed the original award for injuries to the neck, low back, psyche, and irritable bowel syndrome.
