DAVID COFFMAN vs. EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT

This case involves a worker with two distinct industrial injuries to his low back and other body parts. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to review the prior award of partial permanent disability. After review, the Board found the applicant to be permanently totally disabled, determining that his combined injuries and subsequent treatment prevented any return to gainful employment. The Board also found that the employer failed to meet its burden of proof for apportionment between the two injuries and non-industrial causes.
