Injury / body parts: respiratory system (mold exposure)

LC §4600LC §4610LC §4062LC §4610.5CCR §35.5

Summary

Applicant Jamie Blair sustained three industrial injuries while employed by Coast Community College District. The WCJ's May 19, 2022 Findings and Order found that none of the three injuries caused permanent disability, temporary disability, or a need for further medical treatment. Applicant sought reconsideration, arguing the finding that no further medical treatment was needed was not supported by substantial medical evidence and that the Opinion on Decision failed to explain that determination. The Appeals Board agreed, finding that the primary treating physician's report (noting possible future visits if re-exposed to mold) and the PQME's recommendation for an air purifier together constituted substantial evidence that future medical care may be needed. The Board amended the Findings and Order to find applicant entitled to future medical care while affirming that applicant takes nothing on temporary and permanent disability claims.
