Patricia Coria — ADJ10940653

Applicant Patricia Coria sustained an admitted left wrist injury on September 24, 2015 while working as a patient transport at UCLA Medical Center. The WCJ's December 1, 2020 Findings and Award set the permanent and stationary date at October 2, 2018 and ordered PD payments to commence on that date, while denying applicant's petitions for sanctions and penalties. On reconsideration, the Board agreed PD advances must commence the day after the last temporary disability payment (paid through July 9, 2018) under Labor Code section 4650(b), amending the PD start date to July 10, 2018. The Board affirmed the WCJ's denial of section 5814 penalties and section 5813 sanctions, finding the defendant properly followed the UR and IMR processes without unreasonable delay or bad faith. The decision was a partial grant correcting only the PD commencement date.
