CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant's industrial injury to multiple body systems sustained while employed by Continental Airlines. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to clarify temporary disability (TD) and apportionment of permanent disability. Regarding TD, the Board modified the award to require the parties to adjust or the WCJ to determine TD based on specific treatment dates by Dr. Curtis, not the previously awarded broad period. The Board affirmed the finding of 100% permanent disability without apportionment, finding the defendant failed to meet its burden of proof. Finally, the issue of the applicant's attorney's fees was deferred for further determination by the WCJ due to calculation uncertainties.
