Juliana Lowe — ADJ22182508

Applicant Juliana Lowe, an inventory factory worker at FN Logistics LLC, sustained an admitted injury to her right foot on November 17, 2025. Following an expedited hearing, the WCJ found applicant was not a seasonal worker, that her AWW was $1,057.90 (TD rate $705.27) under Labor Code § 4453(c)(4) based on earning capacity, that she was entitled to temporary total disability, and that Dr. Ko's one-page MMI report was not substantial. Defendant sought reconsideration arguing applicant was a seasonal/temporary worker as a matter of law under her offer letter, that the WCJ used the wrong AWW method, and that the WCJ acted in excess of his powers. The Appeals Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's Report and denied reconsideration, giving great weight to the WCJ's credibility determinations.
