Uraisri Somrang vs. County of Los Angeles

This case concerns a Petition for Reconsideration filed by the Defendants challenging an increase in Applicant's permanent disability award. The Defendants argued that the Applicant's right knee subjective complaints were either subsumed by previous restrictions or not rateable. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration, finding that the Agreed Medical Examiner's report supported the inclusion of right knee complaints as a separate component of disability. The Board also noted the Defendant's "Corrected Petition for Reconsideration" was untimely and recommended dismissal.
