This case affirmed a finding of 100% permanent disability for an industrial injury to an assistant manager's left knee, shoulder, hip, and leg. The Appeals Board ruled that a physician's report indicating the existence of permanent disability before reaching the permanent and stationary status qualified for using the older 1997 permanent disability rating schedule. The Board found substantial evidence supported the 100% rating, deferring to the WCJ's credibility assessment.
