Fetzer, Christopher

Applicant Christopher Fetzer sustained two accepted specific injuries while working for Rhys Vineyards: a left arm/shoulder injury on September 14, 2020 (ATV accident) and a low back injury on February 10, 2021 (skid steer/twisting). He first treated within the workers' compensation system at Concentra on April 30, 2021, was placed on temporary disability, and received TD benefits for approximately 104 weeks until they stopped under Labor Code § 4656. Applicant argued he was entitled to a separate 104 weeks of TD for each injury, but the WCJ found that because the TD periods substantially overlapped, the 104-week cap ran concurrently, entitling him to only roughly 104 weeks total. The Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's Report and denied reconsideration.
