HENRY NG vs. TRW, AMERICAN CASUALTY OF READING, PENNSYLVANIA, CNA, Third Party Administrators

This case concerns an applicant's workers' compensation claim for spinal and right upper extremity injuries, with disputed apportionment of permanent disability and penalties for failure to provide medical treatment. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, amending the original award to include a 15 percent attorney's fee on penalties and deferring the issue of self-procured medical expenses for further proceedings. The Board also corrected administrative headings, clarifying that apportionment must be based on causation under SB 899, aligning with the reasoning in *Gatten*.
