CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board award. The WCJ initially found industrial injuries and awarded temporary and permanent disability benefits. The defendant argued the WCJ erred by awarding excessive temporary disability, exceeding the two-year limit under Labor Code section 4656(c)(1). The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's reasoning that the temporary disability period from July 7, 2009, to April 7, 2010, was not recoverable due to the statutory limit. Therefore, the original award was affirmed but amended to deny recovery of those specific temporary disability benefits.
