Martin Dominguez vs. John Dondoro Farms, Preferred Employers

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Martin Dominguez's petition for reconsideration of a stipulated award. Dominguez contended that the stipulated permanent disability percentages and indemnity calculations were incorrect, citing a prior attorney's opinion and check stubs. However, these allegations lacked supporting evidence or sworn testimony in the record. The WCAB treated his petition as a request to set aside the award and remanded the case to the trial level for a hearing. This allows Dominguez to present evidence and for the judge to make a new decision.
