KIMBERLEY A. TURNER vs. BLOSSOM RIDGE MEDICAL GROUP, PREFERRED EMPLOYERS INSURANCE GROUP

This case involves an employer's petition for reconsideration of an award of additional temporary disability benefits (TDI) for an applicant's low back injury. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to modify the award, requiring withholding of funds to satisfy a potential Employment Development Department (EDD) lien for overlapping state disability indemnity benefits. The Board affirmed the underlying award of TDI, ruling the employer was liable for 104 weeks of benefits from the date TDI first commenced.
