JOEL ALONZO vs. MISSION LINEN SUPPLY, CIGA on Behalf of CREDIT GENERAL in liquidation

This case involves a dispute over reimbursement for medical-legal expenses incurred by the applicant. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior order denying these expenses. The WCAB found the original record to be inadequate, lacking stipulations and sufficient evidence to decide the issue. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the prior order and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings. The WCAB also emphasized the need for a prompt resolution given the long pendency of the case and the applicant's injury.
