SARVENAZ DANESH vs. RITE OF PASSAGE ADOLESCENT TREATMENT CENTERS AND SCHOOLS, WILLIAMSBURG NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, ILLINOIS MIDWEST INSURANCE AGENCY, LLC

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge's report and recommendation, which found the applicant to be a credible witness. The judge's credibility determination was given great weight, and no substantial evidence was presented to warrant rejecting it. Therefore, the petition for reconsideration was denied.

VICENTE RODRIGUEZ vs. GLOBE APPAREL, INC., NATIONAL LIABILITY & FIRE CO., HATHAWAY HOMESTATE COMPANY

This case involves a petition for reconsideration filed by lien claimant Joyce Altman Interpreters and Dr. Danesh/Pain Relief concerning reimbursement for services. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied reconsideration based on the WCJ's report, which found most contentions moot. The WCJ determined that applicant's condition reached a permanent and stationary status on 05/23/06, limiting lien payments to that date, primarily relying on Dr. Lorman's medical opinion. Although the petition was timely filed, its improper e-filing format delayed the WCAB's actual notice and review until after the statutory 60-day period.
