Case No. ADJ7420955, ADJ6424323RegularSep 13, 2016
WBC UNIVERSAL vs. ELECTRIC INSURANCE COMPANY, SEDGWICK CMS
This case involves a petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board award. The applicant sought to include permanent disability ratings for his right knee and meralgia paresthetica of the groin, which were denied by the WCJ. The Agreed Medical Evaluator (AME) determined that while the applicant's October 2009 injury exacerbated his right knee, prior injuries were the cause of permanent disability. The AME also opined that the meralgia paresthetica was due to complications of thoracic outlet syndrome, unrelated to the claimed industrial injury. Therefore, the Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration.
