Gonzalez, Jesus Nicolas

Jesus Gonzalez sustained industrial injury on December 27, 2011 to his lumbar spine, thoracic spine, psyche, and reproductive system (erectile dysfunction) while working as a loader/unloader for Coca-Cola Enterprises. The WCJ found 83 percent permanent partial disability after combining the various impairments using the Combined Values Chart (CVC), rejecting the medical opinions of AME Dr. Anderson and QME Dr. Drucker that the impairments should be added rather than combined under a Kite analysis. Applicant sought reconsideration, arguing the medical and vocational evidence supported permanent total disability via adding impairments and under Ogilvie/LeBoeuf. The Board granted reconsideration, found the medical reports inadequate under its en banc decision in Vigil because they failed to identify the specific ADLs impacted by each impairment and whether they overlapped or synergistically amplified, rescinded the F&A, and remanded for development of the record.
