Raheleh Shabanpour Kalagar — ADJ19087467

Applicant, a phlebotomist for Providence St. Jude Medical Center, sustained industrial injury on February 27, 2023 to multiple body parts. The WCJ's F&A found AOE/COE injury to several body parts, awarded temporary disability benefits through February 26, 2025 subject to development of the record, and found that key issues (last date of employment, TTD/TPD periods, and average weekly wage) could not be determined without further record development, complicated by applicant's concurrent employment at Innovative Health Diagnostics. Defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the TTD award for periods when applicant may have been only partially disabled (or working) was not supported by the evidence, and that penalties, credits, and attorney fees were inconsistent with payment evidence and the QME opinion. The Board granted reconsideration to allow further study of the factual and legal issues, particularly whether applicant was temporarily partially disabled during periods paid as TTD. The Board deferred a final decision on the merits pending further review of the entire record.
