HECTOR CAMPOS vs. CELL-CRETE CORPORATION, OLD REPUBLIC GENERAL INSURANCE CORPORATION, GALLAGHER BASSETT SERVICES, INC., INFRASOURCE, OLD REPUBLIC INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves applicant Hector Campos seeking reconsideration of a Findings and Award concerning cumulative injuries sustained while employed by Cell-Crete Corporation and Infrasource. The Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) found applicant sustained a curable injury at Cell-Crete but no injury at Infrasource. Applicant argued improper consolidation and need for further discovery, while Cell-Crete asserted a post-termination defense and challenged the WCJ's reliance on an Agreed Medical Evaluator's opinion. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reviewed the petitions and answers, ultimately adopting the WCJ's report and denying reconsideration, affirming the original Findings and Award.

MARTIN HERRERA vs. B T MANCINI CO INC, BITCO/OLD REPUBLIC INSURANCE CO., ESIS, INC.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reviewed a Petition for Removal, along with the report from the workers' compensation administrative law judge. The Board denied the petition, reiterating that removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when there is substantial prejudice, irreparable harm, or if reconsideration would not be an adequate remedy. The Board concluded that these criteria were not met, affirming the WCJ's analysis of the petitioner's arguments.

BRIAN SAN NICOLAS vs. PEPSI BOTTLING GROUP, OLD REPUBLIC INSURANCE, SEDGWICK/CMS, CONTINENTAL CASUALTY, CNA

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed an award for applicant's cumulative trauma injury to his back and psyche but rescinded the award of additional temporary disability in a prior specific injury case. This rescission was due to the Appeals Board lacking jurisdiction for benefits commencing more than five years after the initial injury date, as the applicant had not experienced a new and further disability within that timeframe. The case was remanded for adjustment of the cumulative trauma award and clarification on medical treatment administration by Old Republic Insurance.

TONY BUTLER vs. QUALITY PERSONNEL, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, BAXTER HEALTHCARE, OLD REPUBLIC INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns Baxter Healthcare's petition for reconsideration of a finding that applicant Tony Butler was a special employee of Baxter. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, upholding the finding of special employment based on Baxter's significant control over Butler's work, including training, the ability to replace him, and negotiation of his pay rate. Baxter and its carrier, Old Republic, were ordered to administer the claim, with the Board finding that CIGA was not liable due to the existence of other insurance.

GORDON KENT vs. CONTROL COMPONENTS, INC.; ARROWOOD INDEMNITY COMPANY, OLD REPUBLIC INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves a dispute over contribution between two insurance carriers, Arrowood Indemnity Company and Old Republic Insurance Company, for a cumulative injury claim. Initially, the arbitrator correctly found Arrowood's petition for contribution untimely for the original award due to failure to file within the statutory one-year period. However, the Appeals Board granted reconsideration, recognizing that Arrowood timely filed its contribution petition within one year of a supplemental award approving a compromise and release agreement for new and further benefits. The Board amended the decision, allowing Arrowood to seek contribution from Old Republic solely for the $25,000 compromise and release settlement and remanding the matter for apportionment of liability.

MARTIN WILLIAM HALEY, II vs. PENSKE LOGISTICS, OLD REPUBLIC

The applicant sought reconsideration of a WCJ's decision finding injury to his left hip and lower back but not to other claimed body parts, and no permanent disability. The applicant's petition for reconsideration was dismissed because it was filed beyond the statutory deadline. Even if timely, the petition would have been denied for failing to specify grounds for reconsideration. The Board emphasized that the time limit for filing a petition for reconsideration is jurisdictional.
