Jose Ramirez vs. CHUBB & SONS

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address ambiguities in a prior award. While affirming the sanction of attorney fees for the defendant's failure to timely comply with a medical treatment authorization, the Board deferred the issue of the applicant's personal transportation needs. This deferral was to allow for further clarification of the extent of the defendant's transportation obligations to the applicant, beyond those for his son's schooling and medical appointments. The award of transportation for the applicant's son's educational needs was otherwise affirmed.
