FELIPE TOLENTINO vs. CONCO CEMENT, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, XCHANGING INC., FREMONT COMPENSATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as premature. The WCAB granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the temporary disability overpayment issue, deferring it for further proceedings. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings on injury causation and permanent disability but amended the decision to clarify the overpayment issue. Finally, the WCAB issued a notice of intention to sanction defendant's counsel for attaching and citing unadmitted evidence.

LINDA LEWIS ZAMBA vs. BERKELEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, INTERCARE

Applicant Linda Lewis Zamba sought reconsideration of a WCJ's order from June 12, 2025, which dismissed two of her three case numbers and denied a re-evaluation by QME Dr. Weiss. The Appeals Board treated her petition for removal as one for reconsideration, finding that the WCJ's dismissal order determined a 'threshold' issue. The Board granted the petition, rescinded the WCJ's June 9, 2025, decision, and returned the matter to the trial level. The Board concluded that the applicant's December 23, 2024, application was a timely Petition to Reopen for New and Further Disability, and that the WCJ's original decision was made without an adequate evidentiary hearing, thereby violating due process.

RICHARD DILLON vs. GENERAL INSTALLATION COMPANY, QBE SPECIALTY INSURANCE, ADMINISTERED BY SEDGWICK CMS

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Removal in the case of Richard Dillon v. General Installation Company. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm will occur, and reconsideration is insufficient. The Board found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate these grounds, based on the WCJ's report on the merits of the arguments. Therefore, the petition was denied.

NOEL LOPEZ vs. BOLTHOUSE FARMS, ARGONAUT INSURANCE COMPANY, SEDGWICK, MID CENTURY INS.

This case involves a dispute over the payment of medical-legal costs ordered against Argonaut Insurance Company. Argonaut sought reconsideration, arguing that it was not solely liable and that the cost award was premature given ongoing issues with the underlying cases, including incorrect case numbers and dates of injury. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the cost order, and remanded the matter to the trial level for further proceedings. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning that the cost award should not have been issued while the principal cases were still pending and unresolved.
