How the appealed decisions came out

These are decisions that were appealed and published — the tail of a system that mostly settles. Most claims end in a compromise and release or a stipulation and never reach a panel, so nothing below describes how this insurance carrier does its work. It describes how a set of appealed disputes came out.

• 2 for the defense
• 2 returned for more record
• 1 for the applicant

Counted over 3 appealed decisions. Not this insurance carrier’s book of work. A decision that went one way on one issue and the other way on another is counted in both columns, so the figures add up to more than the total.

• ADJ10379948 · 2024-01-02 · Los Angeles District OfficeStatute of limitationsdefendant prevailed

  Determinative passage · p.1Defendant seeks reconsideration of the Opinion and Order Granting Petition for Reconsideration and Decision After Reconsideration we issued on October 9, 2023, wherein we1 rescinded the workers' compensation administrative law judge's (WCJ) findings that (1) applicant's claim is barred by the statute of limitations provided by Labor Code section 5405; (2) defendant is not estopped from asserting the statute of limitations defense; and (3) there is no good cause to set aside the order dismissing applicant's claim; and we returned the matter to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with our decision.

  The panel found that the prior decision rescinding the WCJ's findings on statute of limitations and estoppel was correct, and that the matter should be returned to the trial level for further development of the record on employment and statute of limitations defenses.

• ADJ10379948 · 2023-10-09 · Los Angeles District OfficeReopening / new and further disabilityremanded

  Determinative passage · p.14We conclude that the record is insufficient to ascertain the WCJ's reasons or grounds for finding that no good cause exists to reopen the claim. Accordingly, we conclude that the finding should be rescinded and the matter returned to the trial level for development of the record as to the issue of whether good cause exists to reopen the claim.

  The record was insufficient to ascertain the WCJ's reasons for denying good cause; the finding was rescinded and remanded for further development.

• ADJ15449362 · 2023-05-26 · Pomona District OfficeAOE/COEdefendant prevailed

  Determinative passage · p.2For the reasons stated by the WCJ in the Report, we agree that applicant was the initial aggressor in the altercation that led to his injury. Moreover, as discussed in the Report the WCJ's credibility determinations are entitled to great weight. (Garza v. Workmen's Comp. Appeals Bd. (1970) 3 Cal.3d 312, 318-319 [35 Cal.Comp.Cases 500].)

  The WCJ's credibility determinations were given great weight, and the evidence including video surveillance supported that the applicant was the initial physical aggressor in the altercation leading to injury.

• ADJ10680599 · 2021-04-27 · Anaheim District OfficePermanent disability ratingmixed

  Determinative passage · p.3Applicant, born 11/26, 1979, while employed on 01/21/2016 as a furniture worker at Los Angeles, California by Elite Rico Moving and Delivery, Inc., then insured by Transguard Insurance Company of America, sustained injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment to left shoulder, left thumb, cervical spine, right wrist, bilateral elbows, head, face and right knee. The primary issues in dispute are parts of body injured, permanent disability, apportionment, Labor Code section 4660.1(c) and need for further medical treatment.

  The WCJ found applicant sustained injury to psyche and traumatic brain injury and that entitlement to increased permanent impairment ratings for psyche and traumatic brain injury is not barred by Labor Code section 4660.1(c) (1). The issues of sexual dysfunction injury, permanent disability, and apportionment were deferred for further development of the record.
