Injury / body parts: left hand, left wrist, neck, low back, shoulders, psyche

LC §5903LC §5909LC §5900

Summary

Christopher Rogers, a maintenance worker, had two consolidated claims: an admitted left hand/wrist injury (ADJ11120360) and a disputed claim alleging neck, low back, shoulder, and psyche injuries from an alleged assault by his supervisor (ADJ11216793). The WCJ found 17% permanent disability and awarded 104 weeks (October 21, 2017 to October 20, 2019) of temporary disability for the hand/wrist injury, but found the assault claim non-industrial because applicant lacked credibility. Both parties petitioned for reconsideration—applicant disputing the no-injury finding and defendant disputing the full TD award and seeking credits. The Appeals Board adopted the WCJ's Report and denied both petitions, relying on the credibility determination and on AME Dr. Renbaum's finding that applicant was not permanent and stationary until October 22, 2019. The Board also addressed timeliness under amended Labor Code section 5909, confirming it acted within 60 days of transmission.
