JEFFREY DAVIS vs. GENERAL MOTORS, LLC

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted General Motors' Petition for Reconsideration regarding a prior award. This action was taken because the parties subsequently entered into a Compromise and Release (C&R) agreement to fully settle the case. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the original award and remanded the matter to the trial level for the judge to review and approve the C&R. If the C&R is not approved, General Motors may again raise issues in further trial-level proceedings.

FELIPE TOLENTINO vs. CONCO CEMENT, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, XCHANGING INC., FREMONT COMPENSATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as premature. The WCAB granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the temporary disability overpayment issue, deferring it for further proceedings. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings on injury causation and permanent disability but amended the decision to clarify the overpayment issue. Finally, the WCAB issued a notice of intention to sanction defendant's counsel for attaching and citing unadmitted evidence.

DANNY PARINAS vs. MERIX CORP., LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award and sanctions order due to a fundamentally flawed record. The Board found that essential elements like admitted evidence, clearly defined issues, and total permanent disability amounts were missing, preventing a meaningful review. The case is remanded to the trial level for proper record preparation, including admission of evidence and clear findings. The WCJ must then issue a new decision based on this complete record, addressing the disputed start date for increased permanent disability and the sanctions.

JOSE PEREZ FERREIRA vs. BIG VALLEY LABOR, AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE COMPANY

Applicant Jose Perez Ferreira sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision that awarded permanent disability but denied further medical treatment. The WCAB dismissed his petition as untimely, as it was filed six days after the deadline. However, the Board treated the untimely petition as a petition to reopen based on new medical information regarding future treatment needs. The case is remanded to the trial level for a status conference on the issue of further medical treatment.

CESAR HERNANDEZ vs. J.D. HUMANN LANDSCAPING, INC., NATIONAL LIABILITY AND FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, AMERICAN COMMERCIAL CLAIMS ADMINISTRATORS

The defendant sought reconsideration of an order setting aside a compromise and release, alleging the order was ex-parte and issued without notice. However, the defendant later withdrew its petition, explaining it was unaware of lien claimant correspondence and had since negotiated a resolution for attorney fees. The Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration and remanded the case to the trial level for further proceedings. This action allows for reinstatement of the original compromise and release and approval of the negotiated stipulation for attorney fees.

ALONZO MALONE vs. FIRST TRANSIT, INC., NATIONAL UNION FIRE INSURANCE

In this workers' compensation case, the defendant seeks reconsideration of a previous award granting further medical treatment for an admitted left knee injury.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration. The WCAB rescinded the prior award and remanded the case back to the trial level for further development of the record and a new decision by the ALJ.
