MARISOL PERALTA vs. FROZEN YOGURT OF VALLEY VILLAGE, INC., STAR INSURANCE CO.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to further develop the record regarding applicant Marisol Peralta's alleged industrial injury. The WCAB rescinded the prior decision finding an injury, citing that the medical opinions were not substantial evidence as they lacked definitive causation findings and weren't based on complete medical histories. Crucially, neither physician reviewed applicant's full medical records, and one deferred causation due to pregnancy while the other awaited X-ray results. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision by the WCJ.

Tracy Sullivan vs. Café Amsterdam, State Compensation Insurance Fund

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended the previous award, finding the applicant's burn injury did not qualify for the "severe burns" exception to the temporary disability indemnity limit under Labor Code section 4656(c)(3)(D). Consequently, temporary disability indemnity is limited to 104 weeks from the commencement of payments on August 10, 2004. The Board affirmed the WCJ's finding that the applicant's psychiatric injury was compensable, meeting the "sudden and extraordinary" employment condition exception. Clerical errors in the original findings were also corrected.
