Injury / body parts: back/low back, left knee, left ankle, nervous system (anxiety), psyche, sexual dysfunction, sleep disorder, right lower extremity, right femur, right knee

LC §5803LC §5410CCR §10534CCR §10536

Summary

Applicant Ricardo Soto sustained an industrial injury on May 8, 2015, while working as an order selector for Sysco. An October 17, 2019 Findings and Award found injury to his right lower extremity, right femur, and right knee causing 30% PD, but denied injury to the right hip, right ankle, left knee, and left ankle. Applicant filed a Petition to Reopen on April 23, 2020 alleging worsening, and later amended his application to add psyche, nervous system (anxiety), sexual dysfunction, and sleep disorder. The WCJ closed discovery over applicant's objection, set the matter for trial, and found no new and further disability and no industrial injury to the newly claimed body parts, relying on QME Dr. Huffer's report. The WCAB, after granting reconsideration, affirmed the F&O, holding applicant was not denied due process and that Dr. Huffer's report constituted substantial medical evidence.
