Joiner v. WCAB
Cristina Joiner petitions for a writ of review (Lab. Code, 5950; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.494) contending the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) improperly rated her permanent disability under the 2005 permanent disability rating schedule instead of the 1997 schedule in effect at the time of her injuries. Given the parties stipulation that none of the specific statutory exceptions applied that would have authorized the use of the former rating schedule, we agree with the WCAB that the workers compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) appropriately rated Joiners permanent disability under the revised standards. Court therefore deny the petition.
