Injury / body parts: neck, right shoulder, right elbow, bilateral wrists (carpal tunnel), fingers, psyche

Summary

Applicant Juan Verdin sustained industrial injury on November 1, 2012 while working as a laborer for Barrett Business Services, affecting his neck, right shoulder, right elbow, bilateral wrists (carpal tunnel), fingers, and psyche. The WCJ found applicant became permanent and stationary on January 14, 2019, but simultaneously found the medical record needed further development on permanent disability and apportionment. Defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the WCJ erred by issuing findings after a telephonic hearing during COVID-19 and by finding applicant permanent and stationary despite testimony that he underwent surgery weeks before trial. The Board affirmed the propriety of the telephonic hearing (citing Gao v. Chevron) but granted reconsideration to defer the permanent and stationary date as premature given the deferral of permanent disability. The Board amended the decision accordingly and ordered further development of the medical record, including a supplemental opinion from the psychiatric QME on apportionment.
