RAMON MAGANA vs. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION By Its Servicing Facility INTERCARE INSURANCE SERVICES, For RELIANCE INSURANCE, In Liquidation

This case involves a dispute over temporary total disability (TTD) benefits for an applicant with right knee and leg injuries. The defendant, CIGA, sought reconsideration of a WCJ's award of continuing TTD, arguing the applicant's condition was permanent and stationary by a specific date and that jurisdiction for TTD had expired. The Appeals Board found the medical evidence regarding the applicant's current TTD status and the commencement/duration of such disability to be insufficient. Consequently, the Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision, and returned the matter for further development of the medical record, potentially through an Agreed Medical Evaluator or court-appointed physician.
