MARIA HERNANDEZ vs. WAREHOUSE DEMO SERVICES, INC., ESIS

This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Warehouse Demo Services, Inc. and ESIS regarding an award of total temporary disability (TTD) to applicant Maria Hernandez. The defendants argued the award was unsupported by evidence regarding Hernandez's ability to drive or perform modified duty while experiencing dizziness. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the petition, adopting the WCJ's reasoning. The WCAB also admonished defense counsel for improperly citing and attaching an unadmitted deposition. The WCJ found applicant's testimony credible, supported by medical reports indicating dizziness and inability to drive or work safely.
