ROBERT VOELTZ vs. THE KROGER COMPANY dba RALPH'S GROCERY COMPANY permissibly self-insured and administered by SEDGWICK

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, increasing Applicant's permanent disability from 82% to 89%. The Board found the WCJ erred in the calculation using the Multiple Disabilities Table and in the apportionment of psychiatric disability. Specifically, 10% of the psychiatric disability was apportioned to non-industrial factors per Dr. Charuvastra's opinion. The Board also affirmed the use of the 1997 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule and the admission of Dr. Liker's reports.

LUIS MEDRANO, vs. SME CONSTRUCTION; STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND,

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because it was unverified. The defendant argued the applicant was fully compensated and benefits exceeded the statutory limit, but failed to provide a compelling reason for the lack of verification, a requirement under Labor Code section 5902. Therefore, the court found no reason to disturb the original Findings and Award.

CHERYL PEET vs. COUNTY OF VENTURA, Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered By CORVEL CORPORATION, TPA

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration of a June 22, 2009 decision. This reconsideration is necessary to allow the Board further time to thoroughly review the factual and legal issues presented. The Board aims to ensure a complete understanding of the record before issuing a just and reasoned decision. Pending this, all future communications should be directed to the WCAB's Office of the Commissioners.

CHERYL PEET vs. COUNTY OF VENTURA, Permissibly SelfInsured, Administered By CORVEL CORPORATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board is reconsidering a prior decision that found a deputy probation officer sustained industrial injuries resulting in 78% permanent disability. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the Qualified Medical Examiner's (QME) opinion, which formed the basis of the award, was ambiguous and unsubstantiated. The Board agrees that the QME's assessment of 60% whole person impairment is not adequately supported by the record, particularly in light of the applicant's own testimony regarding her daily activities. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further evidence development and a new decision, with consideration for cost of living adjustments if a life pension is awarded.
