CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the County of Los Angeles' petition for reconsideration, affirming a 100% permanent disability award for Danny LeCornu. The Board held that the judge properly considered the applicant's inability to compete in the open labor market, a factor consistent with LeBoeuf v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd., in determining the permanent disability rating. This consideration, separate from apportionment of pre-existing conditions, was found to be within the judge's discretion under Labor Code section 4662.
