GERALDINE UMBENHAUER vs. J.C. PENNEY, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves Geraldine Umbenhauer's claims for industrial injuries sustained while working for J.C. Penney. The administrative law judge (WCJ) found three injuries to the back, knees, and hands, but denied claims for psychological, internal, and fibromyalgia conditions. The WCJ awarded 53% permanent disability, apportioning 50% to non-industrial causes, and a ten-year period of temporary disability. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration due to a lack of support in the record for the WCJ's 50% apportionment of bilateral knee disability, ordering the matter returned for a new determination on apportionment and further proceedings regarding temporary disability indemnity.
