ANGELICA RODRIGUEZ vs. RECANA SOLUTIONS, LLC; ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY

Lien claimant Mednet Inc. sought reconsideration of an Order of Dismissal, which was issued due to their purported failure to appear at a lien conference. The Appeals Board granted the petition, vacating the dismissal order. The Board found the WCJ's order void because it lacked proper notice of intention and sufficient evidentiary record of service or non-appearance, thus violating Mednet Inc.'s due process rights to a fair hearing.

MARIA FLORES vs. PINNACLE HEALTH CORP., SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE WEST, AFFINITY HOME HEALTH CARE SERVICES, FALLS LAKE FIRE & CASUALTY INSURANCE, SEDGWICK CMS, HOME HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS, INC.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a petition for reconsideration filed by Home Health Care Solutions. The applicant, an LVN, was injured in a car accident while traveling between patients for multiple agencies. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the injury arose out of and occurred in the course of employment for Home Health Care Solutions. This decision was based on the fact that the applicant was required to use her own vehicle, which extended the employer-employee relationship beyond direct service. The WCJ also found the going and coming rule did not bar the claim due to the required use of transportation between patient locations.

Susan North vs. Staff Pay Agency, Sedgwick, California Insurance Guarantee Association

This case involves a lien claimant, Rehab Solutions, whose claim for $5,046.50 was disallowed due to failure to prove the reasonableness of charges. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration but ultimately affirmed the decision that Rehab Solutions would take nothing on its lien claim. The WCAB agreed with the finding that Rehab Solutions and its representative engaged in frivolous conduct by insisting on trial without probative evidence. Sanctions were considered, with Rehab Solutions and its representative potentially liable for $2,500, but the findings regarding sanctions were ordered to be placed within the Notice of Intention to Impose Sanctions rather than the main Findings of Fact.

Antonio Santelices vs. Baron HR, LLC, Bison Workforce Solutions, Inc., State Compensation Insurance Fund, Public Investment Corp., Insurance Company of the West

This case concerns a workers' compensation claim where the applicant alleged injury while employed by Baron HR, LLC, who sent him to work for Pacific Coast Warehouse. The arbitrator found Baron HR to be the general employer and Pacific Coast Warehouse the special employer, and importantly, that Bison Workforce Solutions (BWS) was the employer for insurance purposes, making its insurer, SCIF, liable. SCIF petitions for reconsideration, arguing BWS and Bison Data Systems are distinct and BWS was insured by Hartford, not SCIF, and challenging the arbitrator's evidentiary findings. The Board rescinded the arbitrator's decision, remanding for further proceedings to clarify the employment and insurance coverage relationships, especially concerning BWS's role as a Professional Employer Organization and compliance with PEO insurance regulations.
