Injury / body parts: cervical spine, lumbar spine, knees

Summary

Applicant, a teaching assistant, alleged a cumulative trauma injury to her cervical spine, lumbar spine, and knees during a period ending December 31, 2019. The PQME orthopedist, Dr. Schwarz, initially found the condition non-industrial, changed his opinion to industrial during deposition, then issued a supplemental report that appeared to revert to non-industrial without mentioning his deposition change. After the case was set for trial, applicant's counsel obtained a clarifying supplemental report from Dr. Schwarz confirming industrial causation. The WCJ overruled defendant's objection, admitted the report, and found industrial injury. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's Report and denied defendant's Petition for Reconsideration.
