CURTIS MAUCH vs. CITY OF LODI, YORK RISK SERVICES GROUP, INC.

Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer in four sentences:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the prior decision that required liability for necessary medical treatment. This liability is specifically limited to treatment enabling knee replacement surgery, not for subsequent conditions. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning, citing Braewood Convalescent Hospital v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. to support the decision. The case involved an applicant needing knee replacement surgery, and the defendant argued that a separate cardiac defibrillator issue was unrelated to the industrial injury.
