BERTHA GRIFFIN vs. ARV ASSISTED LIVING, INC./ATRIA SENIOR LIVING GROUP, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA

This case involves a workers' compensation applicant who alleged industrial injury and a subsequent discriminatory termination. The applicant's claims were settled, but the employer unreasonably delayed payment of the settlement proceeds. Furthermore, the employer terminated the applicant shortly after her industrial injury, violating Labor Code section 132a. The Appeals Board affirmed the administrative law judge's findings, upholding penalties for the delayed payment and the discriminatory termination.
