CESAREO LAGOS, vs. CAMBRO MANUFACTURING COMPANY;, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA; STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND,

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a $500.00 sanction order against lien claimant Asher E. Esagoff and representative Lila Ramirez. Although the WCJ found they failed to meet their burden of proof at trial, the Board determined their conduct did not rise to the level of bad faith required for Labor Code section 5813 sanctions. The Board distinguished this case from prior precedent, noting the lien claimant presented medical reports and authorization requests, even if some were excluded. Therefore, the lien claimant and representative were found not subject to the sanctions.

ARTHUR WILSON vs. CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT; Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered By CORVEL CORPORATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to rescind an award for dental treatment. The Board found the administrative law judge erred by admitting and relying on the reports of Dr. Esagoff, a non-treating dentist, as they were not obtained in compliance with relevant Labor Code sections regarding medical-legal procedures and treating physician reports. The case is returned to the trial level for applicant to obtain a proper report from a designated treating physician, with Dr. Esagoff's reports to be stricken. Issues of industrial causation for dental treatment must follow former Labor Code section 4062 procedures.

LYNN ASHER vs. LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition for reconsideration because it was not taken from a final order determining substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm if removal was not granted. The WCAB adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's Report and Recommendation for denying removal. The specific reasoning on the lien amount in the WCJ's report was excluded from adoption.
