ANABEL TREVINO vs. M&R PACKING, WAUSAU INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by applicant Anabel Trevino that the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed. The WCAB found the petition was untimely because it was filed more than 25 days after the initial decision. The WCAB adopted the administrative law judge's report recommending dismissal, noting the petition did not address the merits of the case. Consequently, the WCAB ordered the Petition for Reconsideration dismissed as both untimely and lacking merit.

ANABEL VILLANUEVA vs. EPIPHANY CARE HOMES, INC., BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESTATE COMPANIES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a cost petitioner's request for reimbursement of medical-legal expenses and attorney fees. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the primary medical-legal costs were paid. The WCJ also determined that the cost petitioner failed to prove bad faith actions or tactics by the defendant to warrant additional fees or sanctions. Furthermore, the Board noted the petitioner improperly attached documents to their reconsideration petition, violating procedural rules.

ANABEL FLORES vs. GILLS ONION, NATIONAL UNION FIRE INSURANCE, AMERICAN HOME ASSURNACE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to correct errors in the original award. The Board clarified that the applicant's industrial injury was limited to the right shoulder, as stipulated by the parties, deferring claims for neck, wrist, and psyche injuries. It also confirmed the temporary disability award aligns with Labor Code section 4656(c)(2)'s 104-week limit and allowed defendants credit for EDD payments against temporary disability. Finally, the Board amended the award to reflect the stipulation that EDD had been reimbursed.
