WILLIAM E. SMITH vs. UBS PAINE WEBBER, ZURICH NORTH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves a petition for reconsideration by the defendant regarding a workers' compensation award. The primary issue is whether the defendant is entitled to credit for wages earned by the applicant during periods of vocational rehabilitation temporary disability (VRTD). The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to return the case to the trial level for further development of the record regarding the applicant's earnings. This will allow the judge to determine the appropriate credit amount owed to the defendant.
