OFELIA SALCEDO vs. P.F. CHANG'S CHINA BISTRO, CHUBB GROUP

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's award, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This was because the Board found that neither the treating physician's reports nor the QME's report constituted substantial evidence to support the original award. The Board requires further development of the record, potentially through re-evaluations with both physicians, to properly assess the applicant's permanent disability. Therefore, the defendant's contentions regarding evidentiary issues are currently moot.

MARIA CUPIDO (DECEASED) vs. HEALTHCARE SERVICES GROUP, INC., ZURICH NORTH AMERICA

This case involves a dispute over the appointment of a guardian ad litem (GAL) for the deceased worker's dependents. The defendant sought removal of an ex parte GAL order obtained by one claimant's counsel while another claimant's GAL petition was pending. The Appeals Board granted removal and rescinded the GAL order, finding it invalid on its face and noting questionable conduct by the petitioner's counsel. The matter is remanded for a proper determination of the appropriate GAL for the dependent.
