Raul Medrano vs. Stalwork, Inc., Everest National Insurance Co., American Claims Management, Inc., State Compensation Insurance Fund

This case involves a workers' compensation claim for injuries sustained by a carpenter. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found no substantial medical evidence and ordered the record to be developed. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, overruled the defendant's objection to applicant's exhibits to allow the Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) to review them, and affirmed the order for further record development. The Board found this necessary to ensure substantial justice and allow the QME to review critical medical records for proper adjudication.
