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.

JAMIE LEE FOSTER (deceased), GLORIA FOSTER vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT, CAMBRIDGE INTEGRATED SERVICES

This case involved a deceased firefighter whose estate received partial death benefits under an unconstitutional statute. The Court of Appeal ruled that because the employer had already paid the estate, no further payment was owed to the Death Without Dependents (DWD) Unit. Consequently, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) amended its prior order to deny the DWD Unit's claim. The Supreme Court declined review, making the appellate court's decision final.

Gloria O'Donnel vs. LG ENTERPRISES, INC.

The applicant, Gloria O'Donnel, sought reconsideration or removal of an order setting her case for trial, arguing that a trial on the defendant's dismissal petition was unnecessary due to her fraud conviction only impacting temporary disability benefits, which she was not claiming. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because the order setting the trial was not a final order. Furthermore, the Board denied the petition for removal, finding no showing of prejudice or irreparable harm to the applicant. The matter was therefore set for trial on the defendant's petition to dismiss the case.
