Lori Bucchioni — ADJ7054381

Applicant Lori Bucchioni, a 48-year-old school bus driver, sustained an industrial injury on February 4, 2008 to her right knee, right hip, left knee, and lumbar spine while working for the permissibly self-insured Sacramento City Unified School District. After trial, the WCJ found her permanent and stationary as of February 15, 2018, awarded 51% permanent disability after apportionment based on the reports of Dr. Isono, found entitlement to the section 4658(d) 15% increase contingent on the employer having at least 50 employees (requiring further development of the record), and found entitlement to a supplemental job displacement voucher. Defendant petitioned for reconsideration challenging the P&S date, the PD rating, the 15% increase, the need for further development, and the voucher entitlement. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report and denied reconsideration.
