MIGUEL LOPEZ vs. TRI-STATE RESTORATIONS, INC., CREDIT GENERAL INSURANCE

This case concerns Miguel Lopez's appeal regarding inadequate notice of his employer's Medical Provider Network (MPN) and denial of treatment requests. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied his petition for reconsideration. The WCAB found that the applicant received adequate notice of the MPN and was treated by an MPN physician for over three years. Furthermore, issues regarding specific treatment denials were not properly raised at trial and can be addressed in a new filing. The applicant's motion to strike was deemed premature given the procedural posture of the case.

Gloria Rivas vs. Posada Whittier/Berg Senior Services, Majestic Insurance Company

The applicant, Gloria Rivas, sought reconsideration of a prior Board decision that overturned a finding deferring determination on her psyche injury claim. The Board found the judge exceeded his authority by deferring the decision after the medical evidence presented was deemed not substantial. The applicant argued procedural errors related to trial scheduling, but the Board found the applicant stipulated to readiness for trial on the psyche injury issue, despite knowing her medical evidence was challenged as inadequate. Therefore, the Board denied reconsideration, reaffirming its decision to rule on the psyche injury claim based on the existing record.

GLORIA DAVIS vs. KAISER FOUNDATION HOSPITAL, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC.

Gloria Davis, the applicant, sought reconsideration of Findings and Orders issued on February 7, 2025. The original orders found she sustained a lumbar spine injury but denied her Labor Code section 132a claim for discrimination. Davis contended that the F&O was a result of fraud and WCJ bias, specifically regarding her termination from Kaiser Foundation Hospital for alleged HIPAA violations. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reviewed the petition, the defendant's answer, and the WCJ's report. The Board denied reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's credibility determination and finding no evidence that Davis was discriminated against due to her industrial injuries.
