Injury / body parts: neck/cervical spine, right shoulder, right hand/wrist/fingers, low back/lumbar spine, left knee, left foot/ankle

LC §5412CCR §10964

Summary

Applicant Denisha Johnson, a construction worker employed through a staffing agency, suffered both specific (October 10, 2017 fall through a fourth-floor opening) and cumulative trauma injuries to multiple body parts. After protracted litigation involving 20 conferences and four trial settings, the WCJ relied on AME Dr. Joel Renbaum's reporting to calculate permanent disability of 40% for the specific injury and 11% for the cumulative injury, declined to disturb the indemnity rates or award additional temporary disability, and ordered 15% of indemnity withheld pending resolution of three prior attorneys' liens. Applicant, appearing pro per, filed three documents labeled 'Petitions for Reconsideration.' The WCAB treated the later two as supplemental pleadings, adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report, and denied reconsideration.
