YASMIN CHACON vs. ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR OF LOS ANGELES, YORK RISK SERVICES GROUP

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Yasmin Chacon's petition for reconsideration and denied her petition for removal. The WCAB found that the WCJ's decision was not a "final" order as it addressed an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue, not substantive rights or liabilities. Furthermore, Chacon failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm required for the extraordinary remedy of removal. Therefore, the WCAB concluded that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision were eventually issued.
