Injury / body parts: cervical spine, bilateral shoulders, left ankle, left rib

LC §4664

Summary

Applicant, a 91-year-old usher, sustained an industrial injury on 4/22/2018 to her cervical spine, bilateral shoulders, left rib, and left ankle. After settling for 33% PD, she filed a timely Petition to Reopen for new and further disability. On reevaluation, AME Dr. Renbaum increased shoulder impairment and apportioned 50% of the bilateral shoulder disability to pre-existing problems, a 1986 prior award, and 'marked osteoarthritic changes.' The WCJ found Dr. Renbaum's apportionment opinion conclusory and not substantial evidence, awarding an unapportioned 63% PD. The WCAB denied defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report.
