DORIS SIMPSON vs. ORC MACRO, LIBERTY MUTUAL ORANGE

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award of back surgery for applicant Doris Simpson. The Board found the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) opinion regarding industrial causation for the surgery was inadequately explained. The case is returned to the trial level for further medical development, specifically to clarify whether the 2006 industrial injury contributed to the applicant's need for the surgery. The applicant has a history of prior lumbar surgeries and pre-existing degenerative conditions.
