BRODIE v. WORKERS' COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD
When calculating a permanent disability award under workers' compensation law for an employee with a preexisting permanent disability, court should not apply a credit for or subtract amount of a previous permanent disability award but rather account for prior permanent disability by converting overall percentage of current disability into its monetary equivalent and then subtracting current dollar value of percentage of preexisting disability.
