MARIA ORANTES vs. JORGE ALCALA dba ALCALA RACING STABLES FINISHLINE SELF INSURANCE GROUP, AIG CLAIMS

This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision. The defendant argues the original award, finding an industrial back, neck, lower extremity, and shoulder injury, was not supported by substantial medical evidence and that they met their post-termination defense. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the original award, and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings, adopting the WCJ's recommendation for a new evaluation. The defendant also raised an issue regarding the correct identification of a defendant insurance group.
