CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted applicant Andres Marin's Petition for Removal. The WCAB rescinded an order by the WCJ which stated future medical treatment would be handled by Liberty Mutual with a right to contribution. This order was inconsistent with the Stipulations with Request for Award, which only named Santee Dairies/Sentry Insurance Group as a party and did not involve Liberty Mutual. The WCAB found that the erroneous order created prejudice by assigning future medical treatment responsibility to a non-party carrier.
