Lawrence Moore vs. County Of Orange, Permissibly Self- Insured. Adjusted By Southern california Risk Management
This case is about a worker, Lawrence Moore, who was employed as a Sheriff’s Special Officer from 1980 to October 16, 2006. He sustained an industrial injury to his spine, bilateral knees, and left shoulder. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant’s petition for reconsideration to further study the factual and legal issues in the case. The court found that Moore was entitled to Labor Code section 48501 benefits for a period of one year beginning on June 7, 2007, as he had not voluntarily removed himself from the labor market and was not receiving disability retirement benefits. The court affirmed the April 23, 2009 Amended Findings and Award.
