Permanent Disability
In a recent case, the Workers’ Compensation Board held that, because the insurance company had reopened the injured worker’s claim for both a new medical condition and an aggravation of a previously accepted condition, the worker was entitled to have both conditions rated for permanent disability when the claim was closed. This resulted in a greater disability award for the injured worker.
