ROBERT YAMANE vs. CITY OF SANTA MONICA, Permissibly Self-Insured and Self-Administered

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration. While affirming the finding of 76% permanent disability, the Board deferred the issue of attorney's fee commutation. The defendant had argued that the WCJ erred in apportionment of disability and in the method of commuting the attorney's fee. The Board adopted the WCJ's recommendation to grant reconsideration solely to correct the commutation issue.
