SUSAN TOSTE vs. KERMAN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, TRISTAR RISK MANAGEMENT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award. The Board found the Agreed Medical Evaluator's (AME) impairment rating was based on an outdated legal standard rejected in *Almaraz/Guzman II*. Since the AME's report predated the controlling precedent and the evaluator wasn't given a chance to supplement their opinion under the correct legal framework, the case is returned to the trial level for further medical record development.
