CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Ruby Bradley's petition for removal, upholding an order compelling her to attend a medical examination with a panel qualified medical evaluator (PQME). Bradley claimed due process violations regarding notice and a replacement PQME panel, but the Board found she failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The WCJ's report, incorporated by the Board, noted Bradley's own admission contradicted her claim of premature scheduling and highlighted a prior agreement to proceed with the original PQME. The Board also admonished Bradley's counsel for misleadingly omitting material facts, potentially constituting an abuse of the system.
