Jose Hernandez — ADJ9687495

Applicant Jose Hernandez sustained an admitted industrial injury on August 19, 2014 to his lumbar spine and psyche (and stipulated right hip) while working as a senior track worker. The WCJ found the psychiatric injury was neither the result of a violent act under Labor Code section 4660.1(c)(2)(A) nor catastrophic under section 4660.1(c)(2)(B), thereby precluding any increase in permanent disability for the psyche, leaving the award at 36%. Applicant sought reconsideration solely on the catastrophic-injury finding, arguing his physical injury qualified under Wilson v. State of California/Cal Fire. The Board granted reconsideration, affirmed the WCJ's catastrophic-injury determination based on the Wilson factor analysis, but amended the decision to add a finding of injury AOE/COE and future medical treatment for the right hip, which had been inadvertently omitted despite the parties' stipulation.
