MARIA KUROSE vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, Permissibly Self-Insured, Adjusted By ACCLAMATION INSURANCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

This case concerns the applicable permanent disability schedule for applicant Maria Kurose. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the judge's finding that the 1997 Schedule applied. The Board found that the defendant was obligated to provide Labor Code Section 4061 notice prior to January 1, 2005, due to temporary disability payments made in 2004, triggering the 1997 Schedule exception.
