BLANCA DIAZ vs. ALTMAN SPECIALTY PLANTS, TRAVELERS DIAMOND BAR

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Blanca Diaz's Petition for Reconsideration and denied her Petition for Removal. The WCAB found that the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) decision was not a "final" order as it only addressed an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue, not substantive rights or liabilities. Furthermore, the WCAB denied removal because the applicant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice, irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy.
