Injury / body parts: head, back, hip, right knee

LC §4909LC §5904

Summary

Truck driver Terry Murphy sustained an admitted industrial injury on May 25, 2018 to the head and back (with disputed hip and right knee claims). After an expedited hearing, the WCJ found applicant temporarily partially disabled (TPD) from April 25, 2019 to January 30, 2020, deferred the indemnity rate calculation pending record development, and awarded defendant a $717.68 credit for TPD overpayment. Defendant petitioned for removal, contesting the credit calculation and the TPD award. The Board treated the petition as one for reconsideration because the F&O resolved threshold/substantive issues (credit rights under Labor Code section 4909 and earning capacity). The Board affirmed the TPD finding as supported by the unchallenged QME reporting of Dr. Nick and applicant's credible testimony, but amended Finding of Fact No. 3 to defer the credit issue pending record development.
