JOSE PEREZ vs. LA GONDOLA RESTAURANT, PREFERRED PROFESSIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, administered by Omaha National Underwriters, LLC

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior order regarding interpreter fees for a workers' compensation applicant. The Board is reviewing the WCJ's decision concerning whether interpreter services for deposition preparation and a compromise and release were reasonably necessary and billed appropriately under relevant regulations. The Board specifically noted that the interpreter's certification and the establishment of a market rate for services require further examination. A final decision will be issued after this comprehensive review.
