Case No. ADJ1183859 (FRE 0229636) ADJ4153788 (FRE 0229635) ADJ4489449 (FRE 0244569)RegularNov 10, 2016
JUVENTINO MACIAS vs. AWARD CONSTRUCTION AND ROOFING, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address issues with the initial permanent disability rating. The Board found the WCJ's reliance on unsubstantiated DEU ratings and the vocational expert's opinion flawed, particularly regarding apportionment and impermissible medical conclusions. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to clarify permanent disability and apportionment, accounting for the Agreed Medical Examiners' findings. The award for the 2003 left hand injury and the finding of no additional permanent disability for the 2007 right knee injury were not disturbed.
