Injury / body parts: cervical spine, lumbar spine, left hip

LC §4664LC §4663LC §4658LC §5412

Summary

Applicant Susan Shroll sustained a cumulative trauma injury to her cervical spine, lumbar spine, and left hip ending May 2, 2019, while working as a custodian for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District. The AME rated her overall permanent disability at 35% before apportionment, but the WCJ applied Labor Code section 4664 apportionment by subtracting the 23% permanent disability from a prior 2007 lumbar spine injury, yielding a net 12% award. Applicant argued she should receive the dollar value of a 35% award minus only the dollars previously paid for the 23% award. The Board denied reconsideration, holding that under Brodie v. WCAB, apportionment under section 4664 requires subtraction of permanent disability percentages, not dollar amounts. The Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's Report.
