How the appealed decisions came out

These are decisions that were appealed and published — the tail of a system that mostly settles. Most claims end in a compromise and release or a stipulation and never reach a panel, so nothing below describes how this insurance carrier does its work. It describes how a set of appealed disputes came out.

• ADJ4316583 · 2022-05-09 · Salinas District OfficePenalties under Labor Code §5814mixed

  Determinative passage · p.1Applicant and defendant each seek reconsideration of a workers' compensation administrative law judge's (WCJ) Findings and Award of March 2, 2022, wherein it was found that "Interest was payable to the Law Office of Vic Redula from the date of the Order issued on 2/22/21 until paid on 2/25/21" (Finding No. 5), "A penalty under [Labor Code] section 5814 is payable to the Law Office of Vic Redula on the unpaid interest" (Finding No. 6), and "A reasonable attorney's fee per [Labor Code] section 5814.5 is payable to the Law Office of Vic Redula...." (Finding No. 7.)

  The WCJ found interest payable from 2/22/21 to 2/25/21 and penalties under Labor Code section 5814 and attorney fees under section 5814.5. The WCAB denied applicant's petition for reconsideration but granted defendant's petition, finding defendant had genuine doubt about liability and did not unreasonably refuse payment, thus no penalties or attorney fees under these sections were warranted.

• ADJ3516476 · 2021-04-23 · San Jose District OfficePermanent disability ratingapplicant prevailed

  Determinative passage · p.24. Applicant seeks Reconsideration based upon use of the CVC instead of the Multiple Disabilities Table. Applicant is [] correct. Defendant contends that (1) it was improper to rely upon the report of Dr. Ng, which is alleged to be insubstantial, and (2) it was improper to rely upon the report of Dr. Graubard, which is alleged to be insubstantial, and (3) it was improper to rely upon the report of Dr. Gravina, which is alleged to be insubstantial.

  The Board found the reports of the AMEs (Drs. Ng, Graubard, and Gravina) to be persuasive and properly relied upon, rejecting defendant's contentions about their insufficiency. The Board found no apportionment was proper as defendant failed to meet its burden of proof. The Board corrected the rating method from CVC to MDT, increasing the PD rating from 67% to 72%.
