California Court of Appeal

In an action challenging a Workers' Compensation Appeal Board's (WCAB) decision awarding a worker a permanent disability rating of 79 percent, which was initially set at 59 percent but was successfully rebutted by the worker, the WCAB's decision resetting the disability rating at 79 percent is reversed where worker's attempted rebuttal did not comport with any of the methods approved in Ogilvie v. WCAB (2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 1262, and is therefore foreclosed by Ogilvie.
