San Diego v. WCAB (Brooks)
The City of San Diego (the City) petitioned for review of a decision by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denying a petition for reconsideration of an award of permanent disability benefits to James W. Brooks in the amount of $30,940. The award was premised on the application of the schedule for rating permanent disabilities that went into effect on January 1, 2005. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, 9805.)
Court granted review, and Court now conclude that the WCAB did not err in denying the petition for reconsideration because the schedule for rating permanent disabilities that went into effect on January 1, 2005, applies to this case. Accordingly, Court affirm the decision of the WCAB.
