CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the Appeals Board granted removal to amend a prior order. The Board found that applicant's election to proceed against a self-insured defendant meant that AIG, as a non-elected party, could not participate in proceedings or offer evidence, thus deleting the applicant's right to rebut AIG's medical reports. The Board declined to vacate the applicant's election against the self-insured defendant, affirming the employee's unfettered right to make such an election.
