Indemnity Rates
Report
104 week rule: Unless one of the exceptions of LC § 4656(c)(3) applies, the exposure for TD ends after 104 weeks from the commencement of TD for injuries occurring 4/19/04 through 12/31/07.
For injuries on or after 1/1/08, the 104 aggregate weeks of TD can be payable throughout the 5 years from the date of injury.
If the employer with 50 or more employees offers a job within 60 days of the P&S date, then the remaining PD payments after the job offer are reduced by 15%.
If it is regular work, then it is the IW's usual occupation with wages and compensation equivalent to those paid to the IW at the time of injury.

Cannon
Report
The 3rd Appellate District certified this Arthur Cannon case for publication on 1/15/14 (#CO7294479).
The 6th District in Guzman III suggested a departure from the strict application of the AMA Guides should occur only to accommodate complex or extraordinary cases.
The 3rd District in Cannon addressed the "complex or extraordinary" issue.
In Cannon, the AME determined that the strict application of the Guides did not provide impairment for the plantar fasciitis, because other than some tenderness, there were no identifiable objective abnormalities.

Ogilvie II
Report
The main lessons found in Ogilvie II and the later cases of Noriega Garcia, Jon Shini and Albert Hudsonare that we need to determine the relevant period of lost earnings and the reasons the injured work has lost earnings.
The mechanical application of the Ogilvie formula is not a sufficient evidence for rebutting the prima facie evidence of the diminished future earning capacity (DFEC).2.
The period of the injured worker's lost earnings is relevant.
We need to evaluate what period of lost earnings is in question.
