Dale E. Hansen vs. EL DORADO TRUSS COMPANY, INC., ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration, finding no final order existed subject to review. The Board also denied the applicant's petition for removal, as no significant prejudice or irreparable harm was demonstrated. The applicant had sought to disqualify a psychiatric QME and argued the WCJ erred on multiple procedural and evidentiary grounds. The WCJ's order for the parties to confer on an Agreed Medical Examiner was found not to be a final determination.
