PHILLIP COOPER vs. RIO LINDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, BY ITS SERVICING FACILITY, CAMBRIDGE ON BEHALF OF FREMONT INSURANCE (in liquidation)

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the previous decision. The Board found that critical medical reports relied upon by the judge were not properly admitted into evidence, nor was the record complete. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to ensure decisions are based on substantial evidence and admitted records.
