REINA RIVERA vs. LSG SKY CHEFS, INC, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.

In this workers' compensation case, the defendant, LSG Sky Chefs, Inc., filed a petition for reconsideration of a prior decision. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the petition, not on the merits, but to allow further study of the factual and legal issues. This means the original decision is effectively on hold pending further review and potential additional proceedings.

NORA MEDEARIS vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES

This case concerns the denial of an applicant's petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation award. The applicant sought further temporary disability benefits beyond the 104-week limit imposed by Labor Code § 4656(c)(1). The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, finding the applicant failed to prove equitable estoppel against the defendant's application of the statutory limit, despite the defendant's initial refusal to authorize shoulder surgery. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning that the applicant did not demonstrate reliance on any conduct by the defendant that prevented her from timely pursuing authorization for the surgery.

BERNARD BILLIK vs. HUGHES AIRCRAFT, WAUSAU INSURANCE COMPANY, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns a Petition for Removal filed by defendants Hughes Aircraft and their insurers. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the petition, emphasizing that removal is an extraordinary remedy rarely granted, especially after trial has commenced or concluded. The WCAB found that the petitioners failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm from denial. The Board concluded that reconsideration following a final adverse decision would be an adequate remedy for the defendants.
