ARMANDO GALLEGOS vs. A.O. REED & COMPANY, ST. PAUL TRAVELERS INSURANCE, UNIVERSAL MECHANICAL (EMCOR), AMERICAN CASUALTY COMPANY OF READING, PA., SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed an arbitration award against A.O. Reed & Company, finding that the arbitrator had jurisdiction despite Reed not being a signatory to the collective bargaining agreement. Reed waived its objections by participating in the arbitration and discovery without protest, thus effectively agreeing to the process. The Board also found that Reed could have discovered its signatory status with reasonable diligence prior to the arbitration.

CAPRICE SMITH vs. KINDERCARE LEARNING CENTER, SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES, AIG

This case concerns whether the old or new workers' compensation permanent disability rating schedule applies to an injury predating the 2005 schedule changes. The Board affirmed the WCJ's prior determination that the 1997 schedule applies due to a final, unchallenged finding on the matter. However, the Board granted reconsideration to amend the award, deferring the issue of permanent disability and attorney's fees for further proceedings at the trial level due to the WCJ's insufficient explanation of the disability rating and apportionment.
