Regalado, Danny

Applicant Danny Regalado and defendant County of Los Angeles (self-insured, adjusted by Sedgwick CMS) both sought reconsideration of a December 3, 2024 F&A. In ADJ14346787, the WCJ found a lumbar cumulative trauma ending January 15, 2016, awarded TD from July 21 through September 22, 2016, found 32% PD, and declined to apportion under section 4663 based on the anti-attribution clause. In ADJ9216939, the WCJ found a specific September 20, 2013 injury to the right upper extremity resulting in 36% PD. Applicant argued the TD period should begin February 18, 2016; defendant challenged the section 5412 date of injury, the TD overpayment calculation, the PD rate, and the application of the section 4663(e) anti-attribution clause. The WCJ conceded error on the TD period and PD rate. The Appeals Board granted both petitions but deferred a final Decision After Reconsideration to allow further study of the merits, particularly apportionment.
