MICHAEL JACKSON vs. ODWALLA, INC, ROYAL INDEMNITY, LABOR READY, LUMBERMAN'S MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Royal Indemnity's petition for removal to address a dispute over equitable reimbursement between defendants ESIS and Royal Indemnity. The core issue is determining Michael Jackson's employer status to resolve which insurer bears full liability for his injury, as the original award finding Labor Ready as the employer was rescinded. The Board rescinded the order taking the case off calendar and returned it to the trial level for further proceedings.

ERIC LASTRELLA vs. ODWALLA JUICE COMPANY, ARROWOOD INDEMNITY COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Removal, reversing the denial of their venue change request. The defendant argued their objection to venue was timely as they only received notice on July 24, 2013. The Board found this assertion credible due to applicant's lack of response. Consequently, venue is changed from Marina del Rey to the Fresno district office, as neither the applicant's residence nor the employer's location has a local office.
