LAURA SCHELBERT vs. CITY OF BRENTWOOD

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied Laura Schelbert's Petition for Removal in this case against the City of Brentwood. Removal is an extraordinary remedy, only granted when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would occur and reconsideration would not be an adequate remedy. The WCAB found that Schelbert failed to demonstrate these exceptional circumstances, adopting the reasoning of the workers' compensation administrative law judge. Therefore, the petition was denied.

LAURA GOMEZ vs. CITRUS VALLEY HEALTH PARTNERS, TRAVELERS INSURANCE

The Board also admonished the applicant's attorney for potentially frivolous conduct and disregard for board resources.

LAURA AGUIAR vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a WCJ's decision that awarded 93% permanent disability without adequate apportionment. The Board found that the medical reports relied upon by the WCJ did not sufficiently address apportionment to prior injuries or other factors as required by law. Consequently, the case is returned to the trial level for further development of the record and a new decision, ensuring proper apportionment and separate determinations for each injury.

LAURA GIBSON vs. FOREST HOME, INCORPORATED, CHURCH MUTUAL INSURANCE

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a lien claimant's petition regarding reimbursement for medical treatment. Although the petition was not acted upon within the statutory 60-day period, the Board considered it on its merits due to circumstances beyond the claimant's control. The WCJ's report, which was adopted by the Board, found that the lien claimant failed to meet the burden of proof for treatment beyond a single epidural injection. The Board determined that only charges attributable to a single epidural procedure were reasonable and necessary, excluding other procedures like facet blocks and manipulation under anesthesia.
