ADJ229780

This case is about Tony Camplani, who was injured while employed as a journeyman framer from April 8, 2002 through June 4, 2002. The parties stipulated to settle all issues of unpaid temporary disability benefits, and the defendant agreed to pay TDI from August 4, 2004 and continuing. The defendant then filed a petition to terminate continuing temporary disability benefits, which the applicant objected to. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant’s petition for reconsideration of the August 25, 2009 Order Terminating Temporary Disability Payments, finding that the employer had the burden of proving that the employee’s temporary disability had in fact terminated and that the opinions of the agreed medical examiner were entitled to substantial weight.
