MARTINA VARELAS vs. PALMDALE LODGING ASSOCIATES, ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY, GREAT AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY, EMPLOYERS ASSURANCE COMPANY, SECURITY NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY

Defendant Security National Insurance Company sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge's (WCJ) decision regarding injuries sustained by applicant Martina Varelas. The WCJ had found that the applicant sustained injury arising out of and in the course of employment (AOE/COE) to her excretory and reproductive systems across multiple employment periods and adjudication numbers. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the petition for reconsideration, concluding that the WCJ had not sufficiently explained the basis for the decision on injury AOE/COE and liability, and that the record needed further development. A final decision on the merits has been deferred pending further review.
