CHERYL PEET vs. COUNTY OF VENTURA, Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered By CORVEL CORPORATION, TPA

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration of a June 22, 2009 decision. This reconsideration is necessary to allow the Board further time to thoroughly review the factual and legal issues presented. The Board aims to ensure a complete understanding of the record before issuing a just and reasoned decision. Pending this, all future communications should be directed to the WCAB's Office of the Commissioners.

CHERYL PEET vs. COUNTY OF VENTURA, Permissibly SelfInsured, Administered By CORVEL CORPORATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board is reconsidering a prior decision that found a deputy probation officer sustained industrial injuries resulting in 78% permanent disability. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the Qualified Medical Examiner's (QME) opinion, which formed the basis of the award, was ambiguous and unsubstantiated. The Board agrees that the QME's assessment of 60% whole person impairment is not adequately supported by the record, particularly in light of the applicant's own testimony regarding her daily activities. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further evidence development and a new decision, with consideration for cost of living adjustments if a life pension is awarded.
