CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied The Hartford's Petition for Removal, which sought to compel the applicant to use an interpreter from the defendant's medical provider network. The Board found that The Hartford failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify removal, as their liability for interpreter fees is statutorily limited to reasonable amounts regardless of the interpreter chosen. Reconsideration will serve as an adequate remedy if an adverse decision is eventually made.
