Hattie Goings vs. Werner Enterprises, Travelers Insurance Company

This case involves Hattie Goings' petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation award that increased her permanent disability rating. Goings claims the administrative law judge erred on multiple grounds, including improper use of the Medical Provider Network, failure to reopen for additional injuries, and evidentiary issues. The defendant, Werner Enterprises, asserts it was not properly served with the petition for reconsideration. Therefore, the Appeals Board granted reconsideration solely to allow the defendant to file a timely answer, ensuring due process.
