B. Maier-Pessoa — Appeals Resolution Officer

Worker v. Employer, 2015 CanLII 39607

Worker entitled to permanent impairment award for left knee patella fracture despite lack of formal work restrictions.

The worker suffered a compensable left knee patella fracture after tripping at work.

Following surgery and subsequent hardware removal, the Case Manager determined the worker had reached maximum medical recovery without any ongoing impairment.

The worker objected, seeking recognition of a permanent impairment.

The Appeals Resolution Officer allowed the objection, finding that although the worker did not have a significant impairment or require formal work restrictions, the medical evidence demonstrated a permanent limitation of movement in the left knee with no further improvement anticipated.
