Injury / body parts: right shoulder, bilateral hearing loss, hand, vertigo, bilateral hips, head, ear, neck, back, lower extremities

LC §5903

Summary

Applicant Georgia Peck, a dance instructor for Kern High School District, claimed cumulative trauma injury (December 4, 2000 through December 2, 2010) to bilateral hearing loss, right shoulder, hand, vertigo, and bilateral hips. A 2013 Stipulated Award resolved only the hearing loss claim, leaving other body parts open. The WCJ found 23% permanent disability including right shoulder injury, but defendant sought reconsideration arguing insufficient medical evidence and improper addition of body parts. The Board rescinded the WCJ's January 28, 2020 decision, holding that AME Dr. Sohn's reports were insufficient because he never identified specific dates of injury or squarely addressed whether the right shoulder injury arose from the claimed cumulative trauma period. The matter was remanded for further development of the medical record and consideration of applicant's related pending claims.
