Eugene Gilmore vs. Autoland Resale Center, State Compensation Insurance Fund

In *Gilmore v. Autoland Resale Center*, the applicant sought reconsideration of a March 12, 2012, Findings and Award. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration based on statutory time constraints and an initial review indicating a need for further study of the factual and legal issues. The WCAB determined this was necessary to ensure a complete understanding of the record and to issue a just decision. All future communications must be filed in writing with the WCAB Commissioners' office, not with any district office or via e-filing.

EUGENE GILMORE vs. AUTOLAND RESALE CENTER, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This case involved a dispute over an attorney's fee in a workers' compensation claim where the applicant was awarded permanent total disability. The Appeals Board rescinded the original award, finding the WCJ's fee calculation was too low and did not properly account for cost of living adjustments (COLAs). The Board determined a 12% attorney's fee was reasonable, including COLAs calculated prospectively at a 3% average increase. The matter was returned to the trial level for recalculation of the attorney's fee based on these directives.

JONATHAN GILMORE vs. ARENA FOOTBALL ONE, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for removal, upholding the judge's denial of their venue change request. The defendant argued their petition was timely, but the Board found that as the insurer was not listed on the initial application, the venue objection rules under Labor Code section 5501.5(c) did not apply to them. Therefore, they failed to demonstrate their petition was timely filed according to the applicable standards.

LUCAS MARINICS vs. GILMORE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING, ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves an applicant's claim of discriminatory termination under Labor Code section 132a. The applicant argued he was fired because he reported an industrial injury and submitted a doctor's report requiring modified duty. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) majority affirmed the judge's finding that the employer did not violate section 132a. This decision was based on the judge's credible testimony that the employer had already decided to terminate the applicant prior to the injury report. However, one member dissented, arguing the applicant met his burden to show termination was due to his injury, citing the timing of the termination after the doctor's note and the employer's shifting reasons.
