JORGE GUEVARA vs. USA WASTE OF CALIFORNIA, ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE

The Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was improperly taken from an interlocutory order, not a final decision. However, removal was granted and the WCJ's January 15, 2014 Findings and Orders were affirmed. Specifically, the findings regarding the applicant's date of birth and the specific body parts injured were amended for clarity and to reflect only the issues at trial. The amendment also mandates a new panel in internal medicine.
