The Third District Court of Appeal published its decision in
City of Sacramento v. Workers Compensation Appeals Board (Cannon) (December 26, 2013, Court of Appeal Case No. C072944). That means the case can now be cited as precedent throughout the state. The decision establishes the
Almaraz/Guzman rule is not limited to “complex and extraordinary" workers’ compensation claims, increasing accuracy and fairness in rating workers’ compensation injuries.
Mastagni attorney
Eric Ledger argued the case for Sacramento police officer Arthur Cannon before the Court of Appeal.
