Can a plaintiff receive a separate award for lumbar spine range of motion in addition to pain and sensory impairment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from WCAT-2012-01719 (Re), 2012 CanLII 54745 (BC WCAT):
In concluding that the worker may be entitled to a separate award for lumbar spine range of motion in addition to an award for pain and sensory impairment, I have also considered Jozipovic v. British Columbia (Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal), 2011 BCSC 329. I find the facts set out in this case to be similar to the facts contained in this appeal and that the findings of the court are equally applicable to the appeal before me.
