TIRSA GONZALES vs. HELICOPTER TECHNOLOGY COMPANY, EMPLOYER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed an Order to Dismiss for lien claimant Orthomed, LLC, and its representatives due to their failure to appear at trial after proper notice. The Board found their subsequent petition for reconsideration and objection lacked merit and contained misrepresentations. Consequently, the Board imposed $1,000 in sanctions jointly and severally against Orthomed, Christopher Huizar, and Innovative Medical Management for engaging in frivolous actions intended to cause unnecessary delay.

EDITH GALVEZ vs. HANFORD HOTELS, LLC, AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE, HELMSMAN

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration due to a failure to meet the verification requirements of Labor Code section 5902. Specifically, the petition and its attached verifications were either unsigned or defective, preventing the Board from confirming proper execution. Even if the petition had been properly verified, the WCAB would have denied it on the merits based on the administrative law judge's report.

MARIA ELENA MORENO vs. SONNET TOOLS, EVEREST NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The Board affirmed the administrative law judge's finding that lien claimants Orthogear LLC and Olorun LLC lawfully assigned their lien interests to Olorun Management, Inc., satisfying Labor Code section 4903.8(a) due to Orthogear's dissolution. The Board also upheld the order for the defendant to pay $360.00 for a medical device, plus penalties and interest, due to unreasonable payment delay. The defendant failed to present evidence contradicting the lien claimant's asserted valid assignment.

CHRISTINA AVILES vs. SAMUEL HALE, LLC & DIBARA MASONRY, LLC; CLEAR SPRING PROPERTY AND CASUALTY; ARCH INSURANCE

Applicant Christina Aviles sought reconsideration of a Findings of Fact and Orders (F&O) issued on July 11, 2025, which dismissed her cumulative injury claim for lack of jurisdiction, asserting a valid collective bargaining and alternative dispute resolution agreement. She argued defendants failed to prove the validity of these agreements. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration, rescinded the F&O, and returned the case for further proceedings. The WCAB found the trial record incomplete due to unresolved objections to evidence and a factual error regarding the workers' compensation carrier. The board also clarified the permissibility of 'notice to produce' in workers' compensation proceedings.
