Client Testimonial
"EK Health's ergonomic intake coordinator is always wonderful, efficient, and reliable. I have such a comfort level with her that when I leave her a message, I know it will get taken care of. She always follows through. Also, EK Health has great ergonomic services: consults are scheduled promptly, the ergonomic consultant I have worked with does an excellent job and the reports I receive are thorough and timely."

LEGAL-EASE: How Much is Three Cents Worth?
by Steve Kline, Esq.
EK Health Services' Legal Counsel
Every Monday, I wake up to an email from Robin Kobayshi sending me the LexisNexis Workers’ Compensation eNewsletter (California Edition). Thanks to a recent edition, I couldn’t resist the case below for this month’s article.
On May 27, 2011, a WCAB Panel decision was issued in the matter, Vadnais v Kraft Foods Nabisco, which were two separate claims originally heard at the Sacramento Board. Mr. Vadnais sustained two different injuries. One was a specific injury on February 19, 2002 to his left knee and the other was a cumulative trauma ending on February 11, 2001 to his shoulders. The parties stipulated that the knee injury caused 53 percent disability in the sum of $49,342.50 and the shoulder caused 8 percent disability in the sum of $3,360.00.
