JANICE HASLEY vs. FRITO-LAY, INC., ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.

This case concerns applicant Janice Hasley's request for a second Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) panel for a cumulative trauma injury claim. The Board granted reconsideration, treating Hasley's petition as one for removal. The original findings denied the request for a second QME panel, which the Board rescinded due to an unclear record regarding claim forms and injury specifics. The case is returned to the trial level for further development of facts to determine if a second QME panel is warranted under Navarro v. City of Montebello.
