FRANCISCO CERVANTES vs. STAFFMARK INVESTMENTS, AIG CLAIM SERVICES, INC., as administered by CHARTIS CLAIMS, INC.

This case involves a defendant's Petition for Removal challenging a WCJ's order to proceed to trial. The defendant argued the matter was not ready due to insufficient medical evidence, but failed to object to the applicant's declaration of readiness to proceed. Furthermore, the defendant did not demonstrate efforts to supplement the existing medical reports. The Appeals Board denied removal, finding the defendant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that further medical record development is possible post-submission.
