PERNELL PRYTHERCH vs. SEA WORLD, INC., PACIFIC EMPLOYERS INSURANCE, ACE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves an applicant who sustained two industrial injuries in 1992 and 1994, resulting in back, psyche, elbow, and upper extremity impairments. The original award found $25\%$ and $75\%$ permanent disability, respectively, with a May 18, 2006 permanent and stationary date. The defendant sought reconsideration, primarily contesting the attorney's fee calculation and the permanent and stationary date. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to clarify the attorney's fee, ordering it to be commuted from the end of the permanent disability award in each case. The rest of the original award, including the permanent and stationary date, was affirmed.
