LYCETT VS. COUNTY OF SAN MATEO
There was great disagreement whether the Police Officer in this case qualified for industrial lumbar spine injury under the "duty belt presumption." Officer Lycett met the first qualifier in that he had indeed worked more than 5 years as a full time police officer. But the defendant contested the claim because Officer Lycett had not worn a duty belt for the entirety of the 5 years of requisite service. The WJC was not persuaded by this argument.
The "presumptive" injuries under LC 3212 and 3213 provide great insight to the tremendous liberal construction afforded to police officers, correctional officers, sheriffs, and other select classes of employees. This is well illustrated in police officers with the "duty belt presumption."
