CompFox AI Summary
This case involves Nona Ewell's claim for workers' compensation benefits against the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department for bilateral wrist injury. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Ewell's petition for reconsideration. The core issue was the retroactive period for temporary disability benefits, specifically April 8, 2021, through June 24, 2021. Although Ewell testified to working modified duties for about a week between April 8 and April 15/16, the WCJ ultimately awarded temporary disability for the entire period, allowing parties to adjust for time actually worked based on further proof.
