Tiedemann, Breezi

Applicant Breezi Tiedemann, a traffic flagger, sustained industrial injuries to her right hip, low back, right thigh, and left ankle on 11/15/2022, including restrictions limiting her to driving no more than one to two hours per day. Defendant petitioned for reconsideration of a December 12, 2023 award of temporary total disability, arguing the start date should be corrected and that its 1/24/23 written modified work offer in Fairfield terminated its TD liability. The Board granted reconsideration to correct the TD start date from 11/29/22 to 11/30/22 (because applicant was paid four hours of 'show up time' on 11/29/22) but otherwise affirmed, finding the Fairfield job offer (and a possible Angels Camp offer) required driving that exceeded applicant's restrictions and thus was not a bona fide offer of work within her limitations. The Board amended Finding of Fact 6 to reflect that defendant did not offer modified or alternative work within applicant's restrictions and confirmed TD from 11/30/22 to 6/4/23, when applicant self-procured appropriate work. The outcome was a grant in part: the start date was corrected, but defendant's liability for TD continued through 6/4/23.
