ARACELY MARTINEZ vs. COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE; SCIF INSURED, INLAND EMPIRE, SCIF STATE EMPLOYEES
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Aracely Martinez's petition for reconsideration, adopting the findings of the workers' compensation administrative law judge. The Board clarified that while the judge could consider a "regular physician" for an independent medical examination under Labor Code section 5701, no authority existed for a formal Independent Medical Examiner (IME). Consequently, the defendant's petition for reconsideration was denied.
