KALENA BUHMAN vs. BORDERS GROUP, LIBERTY INSURANCE

This case involves Kalena Buhman's claim for workers' compensation due to two industrial injuries resulting in psyche, CRPS, and other physical ailments. The defendant, Borders Group and Liberty Insurance, contested the finding of permanent total disability and the awarded temporary disability period. The Board affirmed the finding of permanent total disability, finding the applicant's inability to participate in vocational rehabilitation rebutted the scheduled rating. However, reconsideration was granted to defer the award of temporary disability for further determination at the trial level.
