ENRIQUE MATA vs. HARTWICK \u0026 HAND, INC.; ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE, administered by CORVEL

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied Enrique Mata's Petition for Reconsideration and dismissed his Petition for Removal. The WCAB adopted the reasoning of the workers' compensation administrative law judge, stating that reconsideration is an adequate remedy for final orders that determine substantive rights or threshold issues. Since the trial level adjudication of an Independent Medical Review (IMR) appeal is considered a final order, removal was deemed inappropriate.
