Injury / body parts: cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, left shoulder, left wrist, left ankle, left foot, left hand, left knee

LC §5952LC §5701LC §5906

Summary

Applicant Lorenzo Reveles sustained a stipulated industrial injury on December 2, 2020 to his cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, left shoulder, left wrist, left ankle, and left foot. The WCJ found no permanent disability, relying on QME Dr. Sherman's reports finding 0% WPI. The WCAB granted reconsideration, finding neither the PTP's nor the QME's reports constituted substantial evidence: the PTP (Dr. Mahboubian) was unaware of and did not review records of applicant's prior motor vehicle accidents, and the QME (Dr. Sherman) found the left shoulder 'normal' without reconciling that conclusion with an MRI showing tendinopathy, a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear, and a split biceps tendon tear. The Board rescinded the F&A and remanded to develop the record, suggesting an AME or regular physician appointment.
