MARIA GONZALEZ (WIDOW) vs. THE GAP, INC. dba BANANA REPUBLIC, AMERICAN ZURICH INSURANCE C/O SPECIALTY RISK

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a prior decision finding that the deceased employee did not sustain an industrial injury to his nervous, cardiac, or hypertension systems. Furthermore, his death was determined not to be industrially caused, and his widow's claim for death benefits was denied. The Board found that the defendant's timely denial of the employee's inter vivos claim precluded the need for a separate denial of the death benefit claim arising from the same alleged injury. The Board also concluded that the applicant failed to present substantial medical evidence demonstrating industrial causation for the alleged conditions or the resulting death.

JAIME GONZALEZ vs. HAMLIN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION: GRANITE STATE INSURANCE COMPANY, et al.

This case concerns Granite State Insurance Company (AIG) seeking reconsideration of a prior order finding their workers' compensation policy with Hamlin Development Corporation valid and in force at the time of applicant Jaime Gonzalez's injury. The Board denied reconsideration, upholding the arbitrator's finding that AIG failed to properly and timely cancel the policy. AIG's cancellation notice was deemed defective because it lacked statutory grounds, did not explain how to cure the alleged deficiency, and did not notify the insured's intermediaries. Therefore, AIG remains obligated to defend Hamlin and provide benefits to Gonzalez.

ROBERTO RAMIREZ (Deceased); MARIA GUADALUPE DIAZ de RAMIREZ, Guardian ad Litem for MARIA LINA RAMIREZ DIAZ, vs. VISTA PAINT CORPORATION, Permissibly Self-Insured,

This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision grants reconsideration and returns the case to the trial level for further proceedings. While the WCJ correctly found the daughter was partially dependent, the Board noted an incomplete record regarding the wife's dependency status and potential eligibility under Labor Code section 3501(b). The Board also found the issue of attorney fees was not decided. Consequently, the matter is remanded for determination of the wife's dependency, the correct death benefit amount, and attorney fees, or for clarification on why these issues were not previously addressed.

Victor Gonzalez vs. CITY OF TORRANCE

This case involves applicant Victor Gonzalez's petition for reconsideration of a WCJ's decision finding industrial injury to his back and left lower extremity, but not his psyche or in the form of stroke. The Board granted reconsideration, finding that the neurological evaluator applied an incorrect legal standard to the stroke claim and that Dr. Silver's deposition testimony was improperly excluded. Consequently, the Board amended the decision to preserve the findings of injury to the back and left lower extremity and denied injury to the psyche, while deferring the stroke and permanent disability issues for further development of the record.
