Injury / body parts: lumbar spine, left lower extremity (claimed, not found compensable)

LC §5902CCR §10945CCR §10972

Summary

Eddie Huerta, a truck driver for Old Dominion Freight Lines, sustained an admitted injury to his low back on June 9, 2021. After trial, the WCJ issued partial findings establishing an average weekly wage of $1,856.33 (temporary partial rate of $1,237.55), a TD period from 6/10/21 through 5/1/22, EDD reimbursement, and ordered further development of the record on permanent disability/apportionment. Defendant Ace American Insurance petitioned for reconsideration arguing the WCJ erred in calculating average weekly wages and that the TD award was not calculable due to a credit issue for duplicative EDD payments. The Board granted reconsideration solely to correct the date of injury to the stipulated June 9, 2021, found the petition skeletal and lacking specific record citations, and otherwise affirmed the WCJ's decision adopting his report.
