Summary from the Troubh Heisler Attorneys

Kidd v. Automobile Club of Southern California- The ALJ did not commit reversible error by adopting medical opinions on part-time restricted work capacity and reviewing numerous relevant factors such as age, education, work experience, intelligence and geographic area to impute a part-time earning capacity of $450 per week when granting the employee's petition for review. The ALJ was compelled to accept competing medical opinions or the conclusions of a labor market expert.
