ANA MENDOZA vs. LSG SKY CHEFS, INC., LIBERTY MUTUAL

This case involves a petition for reconsideration filed by a lien claimant in Ana Mendoza's workers' compensation claim against LSG Sky Chefs, Inc. and Liberty Mutual. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition. The dismissal was based solely on the administrative law judge's report, which found the petition was not filed in a timely manner. Therefore, the WCAB adopted this reasoning to dismiss the lien claimant's appeal.

IRMA GUERECA vs. LSG SKY CHEFS, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for removal, rescinding an order to set the case for trial on all issues. The Board returned the matters to the trial level for an expedited hearing to determine if the applicant must obtain medical treatment within the employer's Medical Provider Network (MPN). This decision stems from an earlier order rescinding a previous findings and order, requiring further development of the record on specific notice compliance issues related to the MPN.

IRMA GUERECA vs. LSG SKY CHEFS, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award, finding the record insufficient regarding MPN notice compliance. The case is returned to the trial level to determine if the employer provided proper MPN notice, whether any failure constituted a neglect or refusal to provide reasonable medical treatment, and if so, whether the applicant is entitled to self-procured treatment. Key factual issues to be developed include the date applicant stopped treating at Concentra and when MPN notice was provided, with a focus on statutory and regulatory compliance. The WCJ must issue a new decision after this record development.

INEZ LA SCOLA vs. LSG SKY CHEFS, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to rescind sanctions against lien claimant Associated Reproduction Services, Inc. (ARS), finding no due process violation or basis for sanctions. However, the Board affirmed the disallowance of ARS's lien for services, as ARS failed to prove its services were reasonable and necessary for a contested claim, nor did it prove its invoices were timely presented for payment. ARS's attempt to prove its claim through exhibits and testimony did not meet its evidentiary burden.
